EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor painting depicts the Western Crowned Pigeon, Goura cristata, created by the skilled hand of Sarah Stone in 1788. The Western Crowned Pigeon is a native bird of New Guinea and certain islands in the Pacific. This magnificent specimen is shown in full plumage, displaying its distinctive brown and grey feathers adorned with intricately patterned grey and black plumes on its head and back. The Western Crowned Pigeon is a member of the Columbidae family, order Columbiformes, and the class Sauropsida, which includes reptiles and birds. Jonathan Elphick, the owner of this precious artwork, was an English collector and natural historian. Elphick's extensive collection, which includes this painting by Sarah Stone, is now housed in various museums and institutions around the world. Sarah Stone was a renowned English artist, particularly known for her detailed and accurate illustrations of birds. Her works were widely admired for their beauty and scientific accuracy, making her a significant figure in the field of ornithology during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The Western Crowned Pigeon is a striking bird with a distinctive appearance, characterized by its large, round body, long legs, and distinctive crest on its head. The bird's piercing red eyes add to its regal appearance, making it a favorite subject for artists and naturalists alike. This painting not only showcases the natural beauty of the Western Crowned Pigeon but also highlights the artistic skill and dedication of Sarah Stone. Her attention to detail and ability to capture the essence of this bird make this watercolor a true masterpiece.
