Created by Admiral Isaac Smith and other talented artists, this artwork is part of a collection depicting South Sea birds encountered during Captain Cook's second voyage. The image captures the essence of these magnificent creatures with its meticulous attention to detail. The Gull, with its striking grey plumage, soars gracefully through the sky, showcasing its impressive wingspan and agility in flight. This seabird belongs to the stercorariidae family and is commonly known as the great skua.
