EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century drawing by Robert Jacob Gordon depicts a close-up view of a Struthio camelus, or Ostrich, in its natural habitat. The bird, with its confident and poised demeanor, is rendered in intricate detail, showcasing the artist's exceptional skill in capturing the intricacies of the Ostrich's plumage. The drawing is executed in chalk and ink on paper, with delicate shading and fine lines that bring out the texture of the bird's fluffy feathers and the smoothness of its neck. The Ostrich, a flightless bird native to Africa, is the largest living species of bird. In this drawing, Gordon has meticulously captured the bird's distinctive features, including its long neck, which can reach up to nine feet in length, and its two-toed feet. The drawing also includes a Rhenish (Rijnlandse) scale, indicating the size of the bird, which stands tall and proud in the image. The Ostrich was a subject of great interest during the 18th century due to its unique characteristics and its importance as a source of food and materials in Africa. This drawing is a testament to the scientific curiosity of the time and the artist's ability to capture the essence of the natural world. The title, "Maljesstruisvogel (Struthio Camelus) with Rhenish scale; occurs in many places in the Cape," further emphasizes the bird's scientific classification and its significance as a natural curiosity. This beautiful drawing is a rare glimpse into the natural history of the past and a reminder of the rich artistic and scientific heritage of the Netherlands. It is a must-see for anyone interested in ornithology, natural history, or the history of art.
