A Himalayan monal perches in profile against a cream background, its plumage rendered in jewel tones of emerald, sapphire, and gold that catch light across the wings and breast. The delicate hand-colored lithograph captures both the bird's iridescent richness and its alert posture, while a faint botanical sketch in the margin adds scholarly precision to this natural history study. Printed on clear acrylic and made to order in two sizes. A serving piece for the dinner party or a pop of color as a kitchen accent, carrying an independent artist's work instead of a big-box print.
