EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Sarah Stone's exquisite watercolor painting titled "Page 6. Variegated Lizard. Now known as a Goanna, c. 1789-90". Part of an album featuring 31 original Australian fauna illustrations from around 1790, this artwork is housed in the Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales. The dimensions of the sheet measure approximately 33.8 x 25.1 cm, with the drawings contained within frame lines measuring roughly 23 x 17 cm – similar to plate size engravings. This particular piece depicts a variegated lizard, now commonly referred to as a goanna. Sarah Stone's attention to detail is evident in her portrayal of this reptilian marvel. The vibrant colors and intricate brushwork bring the creature to life on paper, capturing its scaly texture and natural beauty. In this depiction, we see the goanna basking near a pool of water, its tongue protruding slightly – perhaps tasting the air for any nearby prey or assessing its surroundings. The composition exudes tranquility and offers us a glimpse into Australia's rich biodiversity during that era. This zoological illustration not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also contributes to our understanding of Australian fauna and their habitats through history. It stands as a testament to Sarah Stone's talent and dedication in documenting nature through her artistry.
