EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 12: Loucounany, Sunfish (Lepomis spp.), a stunning watercolor painting by Lady Mary Anne Cust (neé Boode) (1800?-1882), showcasing the captivating beauty of the Loucounany sunfish. This exquisite artwork is part of a larger collection of watercolour drawings of fruit, flowers, and fish from the West Indies, Madeira, and Teneriffe, created in 1839. Lady Mary Anne Cust, an accomplished artist and naturalist, meticulously captured the vibrant colors and intricate details of this freshwater sunfish species, which belongs to the Centrarchidae family and the order Perciformes. Sunfish, also known as Lepomis, are ray-finned fish, characterized by their bony structure, and are commonly found in North America, Central America, and the Caribbean. The Loucounany sunfish, with its distinctive elongated dorsal fin and large, somewhat triangular body, is a popular game fish and an essential component of various freshwater ecosystems. In this painting, Lady Cust masterfully portrays the sunfish's unique features, from its glistening scales to the subtle patterns on its body. As a woman artist during the 19th century, Lady Mary Anne Cust's work is a testament to her passion for the natural world and her exceptional artistic abilities. Her contributions to zoology and the documentation of various species through her illustrations have left an indelible mark on the history of natural history and art. This watercolor painting invites us to appreciate the beauty and diversity of the natural world, while also offering a glimpse into the past and the remarkable achievements of a talented woman artist.
