EDITORS COMMENTS
Strepsiceros capensis, Koodoo - A Majestic Greater Kudu in Watercolor by William Cornwallis Harris The captivating watercolor painting titled "Strepsiceros capensis, Koodoo" by the renowned British natural history artist, William Cornwallis Harris (1807-1887), showcases the striking beauty and elegance of the Greater Kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros). This magnificent bovid species is native to the forests and woodlands of Central and East Africa. Harris, an accomplished artist and naturalist, expertly captured the intricate details of the Greater Kudu's distinctive physical features. With its elongated, spiraled horns, large, expressive eyes, and elegant, spotted coat, this painting is a testament to Harris's exceptional talent and dedication to accurately depicting the natural world. The Greater Kudu, also known as the Koodoo, is an even-toed ungulate belonging to the family Bovidae and the subfamily Bovinae. It is a placental mammal, meaning it develops inside the mother's womb and is nourished by the placenta during gestation. The Greater Kudu is the largest living kudu species, with males weighing up to 550 pounds and standing over 5 feet tall at the shoulder. This historical watercolor painting, created during the 19th century, is a valuable addition to any natural history or art collection. It not only serves as a beautiful work of art but also provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the natural history of this fascinating species and the artistic techniques of the time. William Cornwallis Harris was a prolific artist, producing numerous works on various animals and plants, many of which are now held in prestigious institutions such as the Natural History Museum in London. This painting, "Strepsiceros capensis, Koodoo," is a testament to his skill and passion for the natural world.
