EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor painting, titled "Piping Roller, Tarra-won-nang," showcases the striking features of the Australian magpie (Gymnorhina tibicen), a passerine bird belonging to the corvid family. Painted by the renowned Port Jackson Painter in the 18th century, this artwork is a part of the Watling Collection and is an excellent representation of the natural history of Australia during that era. The Australian magpie is depicted perched gracefully on a long, slender branch, its grey plumage glistening in the daylight. The bird's distinctive nape, adorned with a blue-black sheen, is prominently displayed, adding to its visual appeal. The magpie's beak is slightly open, as if it is about to emit its distinctive piping call, a sound that is both melodic and distinctive, adding to the bird's unique character. The Australian magpie is a large, intelligent bird that is native to Australia and New Guinea. It is a member of the sauropsida class, a group of vertebrates that includes reptiles and birds. The magpie is a passeriform bird, meaning it belongs to the order Passeriformes, which includes perching birds. This painting is a beautiful reminder of the rich biodiversity of Australia and the natural history of the region during the 18th century. The attention to detail and the use of vibrant colors in the painting make it a captivating work of art that is sure to inspire awe and admiration. Whether you are an art enthusiast, a natural history buff, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the natural world, this painting is sure to delight and intrigue you.
