EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the beauty of a Port Jackson Thrush, now known as a Grey thrush spotted quail thrush. Created by Sarah Stone in 1789-90, this watercolor painting is part of an album showcasing Australian fauna from that era. The delicate details and vibrant colors bring this ornithological illustration to life. Perched on a branch, the bird stands tall with its feathers elegantly displayed. Its gaze seems focused yet curious, as if observing its surroundings with keen interest. The artist's skillful brushstrokes capture every intricate detail of the bird's features, from its beady eyes to the texture of its plumage. The composition is balanced and harmonious, with the bird positioned perfectly within frame lines that measure approximately 23 x 17 cm. This size is reminiscent of engravings commonly found during that time period. As we admire this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness Australia's rich natural history through Sarah Stone's talented perspective. This piece not only serves as a visual delight but also highlights the importance of preserving and appreciating our diverse fauna. Displayed at Mitchell Library in New South Wales' State Library, this painting showcases both artistic excellence and scientific documentation. It reminds us of the wonders nature has to offer and encourages us to explore further into Australia's avian world.
