EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 95: Sarkidiornis melanotus, the Comb Duck, depicted in a stunning 18th century painting by Pieter Cornelis de Bevere from the Loten Collection of Coloured Drawings of Birds, Mammals, Insects & Plants. This exquisite illustration, created between 1754 and 1757, showcases the intricate details of this distinctive waterfowl. The Comb Duck, also known as the Knob-billed Duck or Sarkidiornis Sylvicola, is a member of the Anatidae family, which includes ducks, geese, and swans. The Comb Duck derives its name from the distinctive, elongated, knob-like structure on the upper mandible of the male's beak. The female, on the other hand, possesses a more conventional, short, and slightly downward-pointing beak. The Comb Duck is native to Central and South America, and can be found in marshy areas, ponds, and lakes. The painting by Pieter Cornelis de Bevere provides an accurate representation of the Comb Duck's anatomy. The bird is shown standing on one leg, displaying its long, webbed foot, which is well-suited for swimming and wading in the water. The Comb Duck's body is covered in a dark, glossy plumage, with a white patch on its face and a distinctive black eye stripe. Pieter Cornelis de Bevere (1710-1789) was a renowned Dutch naturalist and artist, known for his meticulous and detailed illustrations of various species. This painting is a testament to his exceptional artistic skills and his dedication to accurately documenting the natural world. The Loten Collection, which houses this work, is a valuable resource for ornithologists and art historians alike, providing a unique glimpse into the natural history and artistic traditions of the 18th century.
