EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print showcases the exquisite artwork of Sarah Stone, a renowned 18th-century watercolorist. The subject of this masterpiece is the Western crowned pigeon (Goura cristata), a majestic creature known for its regal crest and vibrant plumage. Captured in profile, this avian marvel stands as a testament to the beauty found in nature's creations. The intricate details and lifelike portrayal make it evident that Stone possessed an exceptional understanding of ornithology. Her skillful brushstrokes bring out every feather, capturing the essence of this Asian bird with remarkable precision. As we admire this piece from the collection of Sir Ashton Lever, we are transported back to the 1700s when scientific exploration was at its peak. This illustration serves not only as a work of art but also as an invaluable resource for biologists and zoologists studying these magnificent creatures. The Western crowned pigeon's distinctive blue plume adds to its allure, making it one of nature's most captivating species. Its side view reveals a proud stance and hints at its wild spirit roaming through dense forests. Displayed by the Natural History Museum in London, this print allows us to appreciate both the artistic talent behind Sarah Stone's work and our planet's rich biodiversity. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these extraordinary birds continue to captivate our imaginations with their grace and splendor.
