EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Sarah Stone, a renowned English artist from the late 18th century. Titled "Page 18. Small Paraquet. Now known as a Little Lorikeet" this watercolor painting is part of an album featuring 31 original illustrations of Australian fauna. The delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors bring to life the small paraquet, which we now identify as a little lorikeet. With its red face and stunning green plumage, this bird stands out against the lush background of foliage and branches. Sarah Stone's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, capturing the essence of this ornithological subject with precision and grace. The perched position on a branch adds to the authenticity of this zoological illustration, allowing us to appreciate both its beauty and natural behavior. Measuring approximately 33.8 x 25.1 cm in size, these drawings are framed within lines that are roughly equivalent to plate sizes used for engravings during that era. Displayed at Mitchell Library in New South Wales' State Library, this remarkable piece serves as a testament to Sarah Stone's talent and contribution to natural history artistry. Through Bridgeman Images' fine art finder collection, we can admire not only the artistic mastery but also gain insights into Australia's diverse fauna through historical lenses.
