Description
English: Painting by the Mughal artist Ustad Mansur from c 1625, which may be one of the most accurate depictions of a live dodo. Two live specimens were brought to India in the 1600s according to Peter Mundy, and the specimen depicted might have been one of these. Other birds depicted are Loriculus galgulus (upper left) Tragopan melanocephalus (upper right), Anser indicus (lower left) (although the pose and pattern suggests a hybrid, possibly related to the Indian runner duck - note upright posture, long neck and smaller size although this is clearly not to scale going by the lorikeet) Pterocles indicus (lower right)
