Sturnur Vulgaris

John Gould

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a drawing of three birds. Two larger birds have shiny dark blue, green, and purple feathers. One stands on top of a tree stump and one perches on the side. They have yellow beaks and legs. Three smaller gray birds with yellow beaks peek out from inside the tree stump, which has green moss on it and a green vine with leaves next to it. A faint castle is visible in the background. The drawing's title reads "STURNUS VULGARIS" and is attributed to John Gould.
