EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor and pencil drawing of a stormy petrel, Hydrobates pelagicus, is an exquisite example of natural history art from the 19th century. Created by the skilled hand of Richard Dunscombe Parker (1805-1881), this artwork showcases the intricate details and beauty of this enigmatic seabird. The stormy petrel, also known as the Leach's storm-petrel, is a small, dark seabird with a wingspan of around 35-39 cm. They are named for their ability to fly in stormy weather, making them one of the few birds that can thrive in the open ocean. Their dark plumage and delicate features are beautifully rendered in Parker's drawing, with the subtle shading and attention to detail bringing the bird to life. The artwork was created on gum paper, a type of paper coated with a sticky substance, which was commonly used in the 19th century for watercolor and other types of artwork. The use of watercolor and pencil allows for a rich, textured effect, particularly in the depiction of the stormy petrel's feathers and the rippling water behind it. Parker, an Irish naturalist and artist, was known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects. This stormy petrel drawing is a testament to his skill and dedication to the natural world. The artwork is a valuable addition to any collection of natural history art or ornithology, providing a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the beauty and complexity of the natural world.
