Among his extensive body of work, "Cuckoo; Bullfinch" stands out as a testament to his exceptional skill and dedication to ornithological art.

"Cuckoo; Bullfinch" exemplifies Keulemans' ability to capture the intricate details and natural beauty of birds. His work is characterized by a precise attention to anatomical accuracy, combined with a keen eye for the subtleties of plumage coloration and texture. This particular illustration showcases the European cuckoo (Cuculus canorus) and the Eurasian bullfinch (Pyrrhula pyrrhula), two species that are both visually striking and behaviorally fascinating.

Keulemans' technique involved the use of lithography, a printing process that allowed for the reproduction of detailed and richly colored images. His illustrations were often based on direct observations and specimens, ensuring a high degree of realism. "Cuckoo; Bullfinch" not only serves as a scientific record but also as an artistic masterpiece, reflecting the Victorian era's burgeoning interest in natural history and the beauty of the natural world.
