"Long-billed Curlew" is a painting by John James Audubon, an American ornithologist, naturalist, and painter, renowned for his detailed illustrations of birds in their natural habitats. The artwork is part of his seminal series, "The Birds of America," which was published as a book in the early 19th century between 1827 and 1838. The series contains 435 life-sized watercolors of North American birds, all reproduced from hand-engraved plates, and is considered one of the finest ornithological works ever completed.

The "Long-billed Curlew" specifically depicts Numenius americanus, a large North American shorebird of the family Scolopacidae. Audubon's illustration captures the curlew in a moment of repose, with its long, down-curved bill and mottled brown plumage rendered in meticulous detail. The bird is typically shown in a natural setting that reflects its habitat, often with a backdrop of the American wilderness that Audubon explored extensively during his lifetime.

Audubon's work is celebrated for its combination of artistic beauty and scientific accuracy. His method involved shooting birds and then using wires to prop them up in natural positions, allowing him to recreate lifelike poses that were then sketched and painted. The "Long-billed Curlew" is no exception, showcasing Audubon's skill in capturing the essence and character of the species.

The painting, like others in the series, contributed to the study and appreciation of American birds and remains an important historical artifact reflecting the biodiversity of the United States during the 19th century. "The Birds of America" has had a lasting impact on ornithology and art, influencing generations of bird artists and conservationists. The "Long-billed Curlew" exemplifies the blend of artistry and scientific observation that has made Audubon's work an enduring legacy in both fields.
