"Lophophorus Impeyanus" is a notable illustration by Elizabeth Gould, an accomplished 19th-century English artist and illustrator known for her significant contributions to ornithological works. The illustration features the Himalayan monal, also known as the impeyan monal, which is a pheasant native to the Himalayan region and the national bird of Nepal. This particular species is scientifically known as Lophophorus impejanus, and it is renowned for its vibrant plumage and iridescent colors.

Elizabeth Gould created this work while assisting her husband, John Gould, a prominent ornithologist and bird artist, in producing his large folio collections on birds from around the world. Her illustrations were integral to the success of their publications, which combined scientific accuracy with artistic elegance. "Lophophorus Impeyanus" is exemplary of Elizabeth Gould's skill in rendering the intricate details and vivid colors of birds, capturing both their natural beauty and the scientific interest they hold.

The artwork is likely to have been included in one of the Goulds' comprehensive volumes on birds, such as "A Century of Birds from the Himalaya Mountains" (1830-1832) or "The Birds of Asia" (1850-1883). These works were highly regarded for their contribution to ornithology and for bringing the visual splendor of exotic birds to the attention of the European audience.

Elizabeth Gould's illustrations were typically created using lithography, a printing process that allowed for the mass production of her detailed drawings. Her work on "Lophophorus Impeyanus" would have involved careful observation and possibly the examination of specimens to ensure the anatomical precision and lifelike portrayal of the impeyan monal.

As an artist, Elizabeth Gould's legacy is overshadowed by her husband's fame, but her contributions to the field of bird illustration have been increasingly recognized over time. Her depiction of the Lophophorus impeyanus stands as a testament to her artistic talent and her role in the advancement of ornithological knowledge during the Victorian era.
