This artwork is part of Huet's broader body of work that contributed to the scientific documentation and artistic representation of wildlife during the 18th and early 19th centuries.
The illustration is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and anatomical accuracy, which was typical of Huet's style. His work often served both scientific and aesthetic purposes, providing valuable visual references for ornithologists and naturalists, as well as appealing to art collectors and enthusiasts of natural history illustration.
