EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Striking Watercolour Depiction of the Australian Hobby, Falco longipennis This exquisite watercolour painting, titled "Lunated Falcon, Goo-roo-wang," is a captivating work of art from the 18th century, created by the Port Jackson Painter from the esteemed Watling Collection. The painting showcases the Australian hobby, Falco longipennis, a bird of prey native to the continent. The hobby, also known as the long-tailed falcon, is depicted perched on a branch, its body poised for action. The falcon's striking features are on full display, including its brown, streaked plumage and the distinctive lunate markings on its forehead. The falcon's keen eyes are fixed intently on some unseen prey, while its beak is slightly agape, as if ready to strike. The painting is an impressive example of ornithological illustration from the 18th century, showcasing the artist's meticulous attention to detail and anatomical accuracy. The falcon's anatomy is rendered with great care, from its broad, powerful wings to its long, curved beak. The painting is also a testament to the natural history of the time, providing a record of the Australian hobby that was not well-known to Europeans at the time. The falcon was an important predator in the Australian ecosystem, and its inclusion in the Watling Collection reflects the growing interest in the natural world during the 18th century. The painting is a beautiful addition to any collection of ornithological art or natural history, and its historical significance makes it a valuable addition to any study of the natural world or the history of art. The Port Jackson Painter's mastery of watercolour technique is on full display in this stunning work, making it a must-see for art lovers and natural history enthusiasts alike.
