Where it works
Plate 61 from Seba shows five birds on perches: a yellow oriole, a large brown-headed bird with teal wings, a yellow-and-black bird, a small blue bird in flight and a red-tailed bird, on cream with a label. Bright and old-fashioned, it fits a study or nursery on sage or teal walls at 16×24.
