EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor print, titled "Great-headed Goatsucker" or "Tawny Frogmouth" (Podargus strigoides), is a stunning example of the naturalistic artistry of the Port Jackson Painter from the esteemed Watling Collection. Dated back to the late 18th century, this work of art showcases the tawny frogmouth's distinctive appearance and unique posture. Perched on a gnarled branch, the grey-brown bird with its large, round head and fan-like crest appears almost regal, its piercing yellow eyes gazing intently at the viewer. The Tawny Frogmouth is a native of Australasia, belonging to the Caprimulgiformes order, and is known for its excellent camouflage, allowing it to blend seamlessly with its surroundings. This nocturnal bird, with its long, curved beak and grey-brown plumage, is a master of disguise, often mistaken for a branch or a piece of bark. The Port Jackson Painter, an anonymous artist from the Colony of New South Wales, skillfully captured the intricacies of the Tawny Frogmouth's features, from its grey-brown tail feathers to the subtle textures of its fan-like crest. The artist's attention to detail and ability to convey the bird's character make this watercolor print a valuable addition to any collection of ornithological illustrations. Thomas Watling, a prominent collector and naturalist, amassed an impressive collection of natural history specimens and related artworks, including this beautiful watercolor print. The Port Jackson Painter's work is a testament to the importance of the art of ornithology in the 18th century, as naturalists and artists worked together to document and preserve the natural world for future generations.
