EDITORS COMMENTS
"This exquisite 18th century artwork depicts the Common Greenshank, Tringa nebularia, in a detailed and captivating representation by Dutch artist Robert Jacob Gordon. The Common Greenshank is a wading bird belonging to the Scolopacidae family, commonly found in the shallow waters of Africa, Europe, and Asia. Gordon's masterful use of chalk, ink, and pencil on paper creates a stunning portrait of this shorebird in its natural habitat. The artist's keen observation and attention to detail are evident in the intricate patterned plumage, the upturned bill, and the subtle coloration of the bird's grey and greenish-brown feathers. The Common Greenshank is often seen standing or perching at the water's edge, probing the mud with its long, thin beak for food. This close-up view allows us to appreciate the delicate features of this elegant wading bird, with its slender legs and graceful posture. This artwork, created between 1777 and 1786, is a testament to the rich heritage of natural history and ornithology in Europe during the eighteenth century. It is a valuable addition to any collection of historical art, science, or wildlife, and a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the natural world." The Rijksmuseum in the Netherlands is the current home of this magnificent drawing by Robert Jacob Gordon, a significant contribution to the study and appreciation of the Common Greenshank and the natural world during the 18th century.
