Large green malkoha is a 1826 paint by Unknown, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This bird sits perched on a thin branch, its body mostly brown with a faint greenish tint on its head and a bright red eye. The feathers are drawn with careful strokes, and the beak is a pale yellow. The background is plain white, making the bird stand out clearly. The name "Mulleak" is written below the bird, which might be a clue to its real name. The style looks precise, like someone studying nature closely. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more like this.
