EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning watercolor painting titled "Page 90. Ardea". The artwork, created by an unknown artist in the 18th century, is part of Collection 27: Drawings of birds chiefly from Australia, dating back to 1791-92. Housed at the Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales, this piece offers a glimpse into the world of ornithology and zoological illustration. The main subject depicted in this painting is the Little Bittern (Ixobrychus minutus), known for its ability to extend its neck four inches in length. With its mouth open wide, perched on a branch against a vibrant backdrop, this bird exudes both grace and curiosity. The attention to detail in capturing the bird's features and natural habitat is truly remarkable. This work not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also contributes valuable insights into avian fauna and their behavior. As we admire this exquisite piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of the beauty that lies within nature's creations. It invites us to appreciate our diverse wildlife and encourages us to delve deeper into understanding their unique characteristics.
