"Haematospiza sipahi" is a lithograph by the British ornithologist and bird artist John Gould. It depicts the Scarlet Finch (Haematospiza sipahi), a species of finch in the family Fringillidae, which is native to the forests in the foothills of the Himalayas. This artwork is part of Gould's extensive contributions to ornithological illustration during the 19th century, which include a series of multi-volume books containing descriptions and vivid illustrations of birds from around the world.

John Gould (1804–1881) was known for his detailed and colorful illustrations of birds, which he produced with the assistance of several artists, including his wife, Elizabeth Gould, and later, Henry Constantine Richter, among others. The illustrations were created using lithography, a printing process that was popular at the time for reproducing detailed artwork. Gould's works were highly regarded for their scientific accuracy and artistic quality, and they played a significant role in the study and appreciation of avian species during his time.

The lithograph "Haematospiza sipahi" would have been included in one of Gould's comprehensive volumes, possibly "The Birds of Asia," which was published in seven volumes between 1850 and 1883. These volumes contained hundreds of plates and were among Gould's most significant works, documenting the avian diversity of the Asian continent.

As with many of Gould's bird illustrations, "Haematospiza sipahi" would have been based on a combination of field observations, specimens, and notes. The image would have served both as a scientific record of the species and as an artistic representation, capturing the vibrant plumage and character of the Scarlet Finch.

The lithograph is an example of Gould's dedication to ornithology and his influence on the field. His illustrations continue to be appreciated for their historical value and beauty, and they remain important resources for ornithologists and bird enthusiasts alike.
