EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolour painting, created by Sarah Stone around 1760-1844, is a captivating piece from the Sir Ashton Lever Collection held at the Natural History Museum in London (NHML, 3 42). The illustration showcases a Sauropsida, a group of animals that includes both reptiles and birds, with one particular Sauropsid taking centre stage. Sarah Stone was an accomplished artist of the 18th century, whose works were highly regarded for their intricate detail and lifelike accuracy. This painting, which dates back to the period between 1729 and 1788, is a testament to her artistic prowess. Sir Ashton Lever (1729-1788) was a wealthy collector and antiquarian, who amassed an extensive collection of natural history specimens, including this stunning watercolour. Lever's collection, which was later donated to the museum, is renowned for its high-quality illustrations of various animals, showcasing the natural world in all its beauty and diversity. The Sauropsid depicted in this painting is a bird, with its vibrant plumage and piercing gaze, captured in intricate detail by Sarah Stone. The artist's use of watercolour allows for a stunning representation of the bird's iridescent feathers, which shimmer and glint in the light. The background is equally impressive, with delicate brushstrokes creating a textured and realistic representation of the natural environment. This watercolour painting is a testament to the artistic skill and naturalistic vision of Sarah Stone, as well as the dedication of Sir Ashton Lever to preserving and documenting the natural world. It remains an enduring masterpiece in the Sir Ashton Lever Collection at the Natural History Museum in London.
