"Blue Jay (plate Cii)" is a renowned illustration by John James Audubon, an eminent American ornithologist, naturalist, and painter. This work is part of Audubon's seminal series "The Birds of America," which is celebrated for its detailed and lifelike depictions of a wide variety of bird species native to the United States. Created in the early 19th century, "The Birds of America" is considered one of the finest ornithological works ever completed, both for its scientific accuracy and its artistic beauty.

"Blue Jay (plate Cii)" specifically captures the vibrant and striking appearance of the Blue Jay (Cyanocitta cristata), a bird known for its bright blue plumage, distinctive crest, and loud, jay-like calls. Audubon’s illustration showcases the bird in a dynamic and naturalistic pose, often depicted amidst foliage or engaging in typical behaviors such as foraging or interacting with other birds. The attention to detail in the feathers, the accurate rendering of the bird's anatomy, and the lifelike portrayal of its environment reflect Audubon's dedication to both art and science.

Audubon’s work on "The Birds of America" involved extensive field observations and travels across the United States, during which he meticulously documented the birds he encountered. His illustrations were initially published as a series of hand-colored prints between 1827 and 1838, with each plate measuring around 39 by 26 inches, a size that allowed for life-sized representations of the birds. The publication of "The Birds of America" was a monumental achievement that required collaboration with skilled engravers and colorists, and it was funded through subscriptions from patrons who supported Audubon’s vision.

"Blue Jay (plate Cii)" remains a significant piece within this collection, exemplifying Audubon’s ability to combine scientific inquiry with artistic expression. The illustration not only serves as an important historical record of North American bird species but also continues to inspire admiration for its aesthetic qualities and the meticulous craftsmanship involved in its creation.
