EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th century print showcases the Southern Black Korhaan (Afrotis afra), a distinctive bird species native to the southern regions of Africa. Created by Dutch naturalist and artist Robert Jacob Gordon in 1778, this exquisite work of art is a testament to the rich heritage of African natural history. Gordon's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate markings and patterns of the Southern Black Korhaan's plumage, which is expertly rendered in chalk and ink on paper. The bird is depicted in a proud profile, standing tall with its speckled chest puffed out, exuding a sense of pride and strength. This beautiful drawing is a prime example of the ornithological illustrations produced during the European exploration and documentation of the African continent. Measuring approximately 11 x 14 inches, the work is a scale drawing, providing an accurate representation of the bird's size and proportions. The Southern Black Korhaan, also known as the Southern Black Bustard, is a member of the bustard family and is characterized by its black and white plumage. This bustard species is found in the low countries of South Africa and is an important part of the region's natural history and biodiversity. This print is a treasure from the past, offering a glimpse into the natural world as it was observed and recorded over two centuries ago. It is a must-have for any collection of African art, natural history, ornithology, or wildlife art.
