"New Zealand Quail" is a lithograph by Dutch bird illustrator Johan Gerard Keulemans, depicting the now-extinct Coturnix novaezelandiae, commonly known as the New Zealand quail. Keulemans, renowned for his detailed and accurate ornithological illustrations, created this work as part of his contributions to various 19th-century natural history books and journals. The lithograph showcases the male and female specimens of the species in their natural habitat, providing a visual record of the bird's appearance and plumage, which has become a valuable resource following the species' extinction in the late 1800s.

The New Zealand quail was endemic to New Zealand and was the only native quail in the country, playing a significant role in the local ecosystems. Keulemans' illustration is not only a testament to his artistic skill but also serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of biodiversity and the impact of human activity on wildlife. The lithograph is often referenced in ornithological studies and is of particular interest to conservationists, historians, and art enthusiasts who appreciate the intersection of art and natural history.

Johan Gerard Keulemans' work has been celebrated for its contribution to the scientific community's understanding of avian species, many of which are no longer extant. His illustrations remain a critical part of the historical record, providing insight into species that would otherwise be lost to time. "New Zealand Quail" stands as a fine example of Keulemans' legacy and the importance of art in the preservation of knowledge about the natural world.
