1. Title: "A Beautiful Depiction of the Sri Lanka Thrush (Zoothera dauma imbricata) from the Himalaya Mountains, as Captured in a Watercolor Drawing from the Collection of Lady Mary Bentinck (1775-1836), Dated 1833 2. Description: This exquisite watercolor painting, number 24 in a series of 61 avian illustrations, showcases the Sri Lanka Thrush (Zoothera dauma imbricata), a passerine bird native to the Indian subcontinent. The artwork is part of the extensive collection of Lady Mary Bentinck, an influential figure in British colonial India during the early 19th century. The painting is believed to have been created in 1833, and it is currently housed in the Library & Archives of the British Library, under the reference Z88 f BEN. 3. Background: Lady Mary Bentinck, the wife of the then-Governor-General of India, Lord William Bentinck, was a passionate patron of the arts and sciences. She amassed an impressive collection of natural history specimens, including this series of watercolor drawings of birds from the Himalaya Mountains. The exact identity of the artist responsible for this particular painting remains unknown. 4. Subject: The Sri Lanka Thrush is a member of the Turdidae family, commonly known as thrushes. It is endemic to Sri Lanka and is characterized by its brownish-olive plumage, with a distinctive white patch on the wing and a yellow bill. The bird is often found in the wet lowlands and montane forests of the island nation. 5. Significance: This watercolor painting is a valuable historical record of the Sri Lanka Thrush, which was not formally described in scientific literature until 1831. The artwork provides an accurate representation of the bird's appearance and offers a glimpse into the natural history of Sri Lanka during the early 19th century. It also serves as a testament to the artistic skills and dedication of the unknown artist and Lady Mary Bentinck's passion for documenting the natural world.
