Watercolour 58 from the Watling Collection, a captivating illustration of an Australian fish species from the 18th century. This exquisite watercolour, painted by the Port Jackson Painter from Sir Joseph Banks' Manuscript 34, circa 1790, showcases a thin, long fish with distinctive red stripes and a prominent snout. The fish, believed to be native to Australasia, is identified as a sucker fish due to its unique adhesive discs on the underside of its body. Sir Joseph Banks (1743-1820), a renowned English naturalist and explorer, played a significant role in documenting the natural history of Australia during his voyages. This watercolour is a testament to the rich biodiversity of the region that Banks and his team discovered during their expeditions. The Port Jackson Painter, an anonymous artist, skillfully captured the intricate details of the fish's body and the surrounding environment. The artist's thin, precise brushstrokes bring the fish to life, highlighting its vibrant red stripes and the subtle textures of its scales. This stunning watercolour is part of the Watling Collection, a valuable archive of Australian natural history illustrations. The collection, which includes over 2,000 watercolours, provides a unique insight into the natural world of Australia during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Watercolour 58 is a reminder of the rich natural heritage of Australia and the importance of documenting and preserving it for future generations. The fish, with its distinctive features and vibrant colours, continues to captivate viewers and inspire appreciation for the natural world around us.
