EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 85: Turnix sp. Buttonquail, an exquisite watercolor painting by Pieter Cornelis de Bevere, showcases the intricate details and vibrant colors of this elusive and mottled bird species. The Turnix sp. Buttonquail, also known as the Tailless Buttonquail or the Spotted Buttonquail, is a small, ground-dwelling bird belonging to the Turnicidae family within the Charadriiformes order. This Sauropsida, or reptile-descended, avian creature is native to the Old World, particularly in Asia and Australia. Pieter Cornelis de Bevere, a Flemish naturalist and artist, meticulously captured the bird's distinctive features in this stunning 18th-century illustration. The Turnix sp. Buttonquail is characterized by its brown and grey, mottled plumage, with fine, streaked patterns on its body. The bird's most notable feature is its lack of a tail, which gives it an unusual appearance. This watercolor painting is part of the Loten Collection of coloured drawings of Birds, Mammals, Insects & Plants, a significant compilation of natural history art from the 18th century. The Loten Collection, which also includes works by other renowned naturalists and artists, provides valuable insights into the natural world of the time and showcases the artistic prowess of Pieter Cornelis de Bevere. The Turnix sp. Buttonquail continues to be a subject of fascination for ornithologists and bird enthusiasts due to its unique appearance and elusive nature. This illustration by Pieter Cornelis de Bevere serves as a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world, offering a glimpse into the past while reminding us of the importance of preserving and appreciating the natural wonders that surround us.
