EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor depicts Gallus gallus, the red junglefowl, from the Large Series plate 39 of the John Reeves Collection of Zoological Drawings from Canton, China. Dating back to the 19th century, this exquisite work of art showcases the intricate details of this Asian fowl, which is considered the ancestor of domestic chickens. The red junglefowl is a large bird, with a prominent, vibrant red wattle and a distinctive blue-black plumage adorned with iridescent green and purple feathers. The bird's face is sharp and alert, with a comb atop its head, which is used for display during mating rituals. The anatomy of the bird is depicted with remarkable accuracy, from the muscular form of its body to the intricate details of its feathers and comb. The background of the painting features various fan-shaped flowers, believed to be from the Fabaceae family of flowering plants, which are native to Asia and other parts of the world. These plants are dicotyledons, meaning they have two seed leaves, and are an essential source of food for many animals, including the red junglefowl. The red junglefowl is a galliform bird, belonging to the order Galliformes, which also includes turkeys, quails, and pheasants. It is an eudicot, meaning it is a type of angiosperm that has two embryonic seed leaves, and is a member of the family Phasianidae. This beautiful watercolor not only captures the essence of this fascinating bird but also highlights the rich biodiversity of Asia during the 19th century.
