EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor painting, titled "Platycercus eximius" or the Eastern Rosella, is a stunning representation of this vibrant and distinctive parrot species, created by the Port Jackson Painter from Banks Manuscript 34 around the turn of the 19th century, circa 1790. The Eastern Rosella is native to eastern Australia and New Guinea, and is characterized by its striking blue and red plumage, with a mottled belly and a long, curved beak. In this illustration, the bird is depicted perched gracefully on a branch, showcasing the intricate details of its anatomy. The artist masterfully captures the rich textures and hues of the Rosella's feathers, from the glossy sheen of its blue feathers to the matte finish of its red ones. The back of the bird is a beautiful blend of green and blue, adding to the overall visual appeal of the painting. The Eastern Rosella was first described scientifically by John Latham in 1790, and remains a beloved and iconic species within the avian world, belonging to the order Psittaciformes and the family Psittacidae. This watercolor painting is a precious reminder of the natural beauty and diversity of the animal kingdom during the 18th century, and continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details and vivid colors.
