"American Magpie, Plate Ccclvii" is a renowned artwork by American ornithologist, naturalist, and painter John James Audubon. This intricate representation forms a part of Audubon's seminal work, "The Birds of America," published between 1827 and 1838.

The artwork specially depicts the American Magpie (Pica hudsonia), a bird species native to the western half of North America. True to Audubon's style, the American Magpie is depicted in a lifelike pose, highlighting its distinct black and white plumage and long tail feathers. The creature is usually portrayed amidst its natural habitat, thereby underlining Audubon's commitment to portraying birds within their environmental context.

"American Magpie, Plate Ccclvii" is amongst the 435 hand-colored, life-size prints of Audubon's "The Birds of America." The edition was considered groundbreaking during its time for the quality of illustrations and the sheer size and cost of production. The piece reflects Audubon's exhaustive studies of the North American aviary life and his significant contributions to the field of ornithology and environmental conservation.

It's worth noting that Audubon employed a unique method where he would first record his ornithological observations in the field and then combine these with his artistic skills to create his works. The level of attention and detail in "American Magpie, Plate Ccclvii" exemplifies this process, vividly capturing the bird's physical characteristics, its posture, and presence. This artwork continues to be a source of inspiration for wildlife artists and a subject of interest for ornithologists, conservationists, and art enthusiasts.
