EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor print, titled "Red-bellied Flycatcher" or "Petroica multicolor," depicts a Pacific Robin (Petroica multicolor), a vibrant and striking passerine bird native to the Pacific region. The painting, executed in the 18th century by the renowned Port Jackson Painter from the Watling Collection, captures the intricate details of this avian beauty. The Pacific Robin is perched gracefully on a long, slender branch, its red forehead and underbelly contrasting sharply with its olive-green back and wings. The bird's long, pointed head is turned slightly towards its left, as if listening intently for the sound of insects to call out to. Its beak is slightly open, revealing the pink interior. This sauropsid, belonging to the Passeriformes order and the Petroicidae family, is annotated with the scientific name Petroica multicolor. The Pacific Robin is a small bird, measuring only about 14 cm in length, with a distinctive red belly and a long, curved tail. It is a common bird found in New Zealand, New Caledonia, and the Solomon Islands. The Pacific Robin is an important part of the Pacific ecosystem, feeding primarily on insects and other invertebrates. Its bright colors serve as a warning to predators, making it a valuable addition to the biodiversity of the Pacific region. This beautiful watercolor print is a testament to the skill and artistry of the Port Jackson Painter, who captured the essence of this remarkable bird with remarkable detail and accuracy. It is a treasure of natural history and a reminder of the rich avian heritage of the Pacific.
