EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor painting depicts the Koklass Pheasant, Pucrasia macrolopha, a stunning avian species native to the Western Ghats of India. The artwork, created by the renowned Indian artist Rajman Singh around 1856-64, showcases the intricate details of this magnificent bird's anatomy. The Koklass Pheasant is known for its distinctive crest, mottled brown plumage, and long, curved feathers adorning its neck and legs. The bird is perched gracefully on a branch, its piercing, yellow eye gazing intently at the viewer. As a member of the Phasianidae family and the Galliformes order, the Koklass Pheasant is related to other fowl such as chickens and quails. The Sauropsida classification places birds within the larger grouping of reptile-descended animals. The meticulous attention to detail in this illustration highlights the beauty and complexity of the avian form, making it an invaluable contribution to the art of ornithology. Jonathan Elphick, a respected authority on Indian birds, has identified this painting as a work by Rajman Singh. The artist's mastery of watercolor techniques is evident in the rich, vibrant colors and smooth brushstrokes that bring the Koklass Pheasant to life. This artwork serves as a testament to the artistic prowess of Rajman Singh and the natural history of the Koklass Pheasant, a fascinating and visually striking bird species.
