"Psittacus autumnalis," commonly known as the Red-lored Amazon, is a hand-colored lithograph created by the English artist, illustrator, and poet Edward Lear (1812–1888). The artwork is part of Lear's notable contributions to ornithological illustration and was produced during the 19th century, a period when the study and documentation of natural history were flourishing. Lear, renowned for his artistic skill and scientific accuracy, was particularly celebrated for his avian illustrations, which were characterized by their vivid detail and lifelike portrayal of the subjects.

The lithograph depicts the Red-lored Amazon parrot, a bird native to the tropical regions of the Americas. Lear's illustration captures the vibrant green plumage, distinctive red forehead, and the intricate feather patterns that are characteristic of the species. The artwork is a testament to Lear's dedication to representing birds in their natural state, with a focus on anatomical precision and the use of rich, true-to-life colors.

"Psittacus autumnalis" is part of a larger body of work by Lear that contributed significantly to the field of ornithology. His illustrations were often published in prestigious natural history books of the time, including John Gould's "The Birds of Europe" (1832–1837) and his own collection, "Illustrations of the Family of Psittacidae, or Parrots" (1830–1832). Lear's work not only served as a valuable resource for scientists and bird enthusiasts but also helped to popularize the study of birds through the medium of art.

The lithograph is an example of Lear's early career, which was primarily focused on natural history before he gained fame as a writer of nonsense poetry. "Psittacus autumnalis" reflects the intersection of art and science in the Victorian era and remains an important piece within the history of ornithological illustration. Edward Lear's contributions to this genre continue to be celebrated for their beauty, precision, and enduring scientific value.
