EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "Cocatoo, 1779" by British artist William Hayes, transports us back to the late eighteenth century. The image showcases a stunning yellow Cocatoo perched on a white background, its vibrant feathers and intricate crest meticulously hand-tinted with skillful artistry. The close-up view allows us to appreciate the fine details of this European bird's features. Its inquisitive gaze and raised crest convey a sense of curiosity and fascination with its surroundings. With no person present in the scene, we are invited to observe this beautiful creature in its natural state. Hayes' mastery is evident through his use of colour and texture, bringing life to the print. The carefully engraved lines create depth and dimensionality while capturing every feather's delicate structure. This mid-eighteenth-century artwork serves as an exquisite example of nature-inspired paintings from that era. The Cocatoo's beak appears poised as if it were calling out or using its voice to communicate with others nearby. Its posture suggests both confidence and curiosity about the world around it—a testament to animal behavior captured through art. This rare print is part of a collection containing 83 plates created by Hayes himself—an impressive body of work that showcases his talent for depicting wildlife with precision and grace. As we admire this enchanting piece, we are reminded of the timeless beauty found within our natural world.
