Painting Description
"Wood Ibis [pl.361]" is a notable work by John James Audubon, an esteemed American ornithologist, naturalist, and painter. This piece is part of Audubon's monumental series "The Birds of America," which is renowned for its detailed and life-sized illustrations of a wide variety of bird species found in the United States.

The background of the illustration often includes elements of the bird's natural habitat, such as wetlands or marshes, which are crucial for its feeding and nesting behaviors.

His dedication to accuracy and his artistic skill combined to create works that are not only scientifically valuable but also visually stunning. "Wood Ibis [pl.361]" exemplifies Audubon's ability to blend art and science, providing a window into the avian world that continues to be celebrated by ornithologists, artists, and bird enthusiasts alike.
