The inscription on the verso states that Schouman saw these animals in the zoological garden of Stadhouder Willem V van Orange on the Kleine Loo by Huis ten Bosch, The Hague.
Along with other artists Schouman made other drawings of animals at this site, which were engraved by Simon Fokke and published as from 1766 in Vosmaer's publications on the animals in the garden. A print showing a comparable trumpet bird was published in 1768. Willem V had been given two of these by Mr. Marsys in 1764, and two further specimens by Mr. Marselis from Amsterdam in 1765. In 1768 Vosmaer described only one as being still alive. The birds came from Suriname, the capuchin monkey also originates from South America
