Curatorial comment:
The Crested Partridge (Rollulus rouloul) is not native to India. It may have been introduced from southeast Asia as a game bird or for sport. Elizabeth Gwillim has depicted four male partridges in a flat landscape, with a square building rising behind the trees in the distance. | Le rouloul couronné (Rollulus rouloul) n'est pas un oiseau indigène de l'Inde. Il pourrait avoir été introduit en provenance de l'Asie du Sud-Est à titre de gibier à plumes ou pour des activités sportives. Elizabeth Gwillim a dépeint quatre de ces oiseaux mâles dans un paysage plat où se profile un édifice carré derrière les arbres à l'arrière-plan.
