EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 84: Spotted-necked Dove (Streptopelia chinensis suratensis), an exquisite illustration from the Loten Collection of Coloured Drawings of Birds, Mammals, Insects & Plants, created by the skilled hand of Pieter Cornelis de Bevere around 1754-57. This beautiful work of art showcases the intricate details of the Spotted-necked Dove, a species of dove belonging to the Columbidae family. The dove is depicted perched gracefully on a branch, its plumage a stunning combination of grey and red. Its neck is adorned with distinctive black spots, giving it its common name. The dove's beak is slightly open, revealing a hint of its pink inner lining. Its piercing, bright red eye adds a striking contrast to its otherwise muted coloration. The dove's leg is bent, providing a clear view of its three toes, each with a distinctively scaled texture. The dove's anatomy is accurately portrayed, showcasing the delicate balance of its body as it perches on the branch. This illustration is a testament to the meticulous observation and artistic skill of Pieter Cornelis de Bevere, who expertly captured the essence of this bird species. The Loten Collection, which houses this illustration, is a valuable resource for ornithological studies, providing a glimpse into the natural world of the 18th century. Pieter Cornelis de Bevere, also known as Pieter de Beer, was a renowned Dutch natural history illustrator, active from around 1722 to 1781. Joan Gideon Loten, a Dutch physician and naturalist, was the collector of the Loten Collection. This illustration is a reminder of the rich history of natural history documentation and the artistic mastery of the past.
