"Amazona Vittata" is a notable illustration by the French artist Jacques Barraband (1767–1809), renowned for his lifelike depictions of birds. This particular artwork is part of a series created for François Levaillant's early 19th-century ornithological works, which include "Histoire Naturelle des Perroquets" (Natural History of Parrots) and "Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux de Paradis et Des Rolliers, Suivie de Celle des Toucans et Des Barbus" (Natural History of Birds of Paradise and Rollers, Followed by that of Toucans and Barbets). Barraband's illustrations are celebrated for their precision and vibrant coloration, which were unmatched at the time and contributed significantly to the field of ornithology.

The "Amazona Vittata" piece specifically portrays the Puerto Rican parrot, a species endemic to the archipelago of Puerto Rico. The scientific name of the species, Amazona vittata, serves as the title of the artwork, reflecting the convention of the period to use Latin binomials for species identification. Barraband's illustration captures the bird's distinctive green plumage, red forehead, and blue wing feathers with meticulous attention to detail, showcasing his skill in rendering the textures and colors of the parrot's feathers.

The artwork not only serves as a visual record of the species but also as a historical document, as the Puerto Rican parrot has since become critically endangered, with its population severely diminished due to habitat loss and other environmental pressures. Barraband's work, therefore, holds both artistic and conservation significance, providing a window into the natural history of the early 19th century and the biodiversity that is at risk of being lost.

As a highly regarded example of natural history illustration, "Amazona Vittata" by Jacques Barraband is an important work within the artist's oeuvre and continues to be appreciated by both art enthusiasts and ornithologists for its beauty and scientific value.
