EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor drawing, titled "Petroica boodang" or Scarlet Robin, is an 18th-century illustration by the renowned naturalist George Raper. The Scarlet Robin, scientifically known as Turdus poliocephalus, is a passerine bird native to Australia and New Guinea. In this artwork, the bird is depicted perched on an island, showcasing its vibrant red plumage, long grey head, and distinctive white forehead. The Scarlet Robin's beak is open slightly, revealing its pink interior, while its piercing black eyes gaze intently at the viewer. The intricate details of the bird's anatomy are beautifully rendered, from the long, slender toes on its grey feet to the fine feathers covering its breast. George Raper, an English naturalist, created this illustration between the years 1768 and 1797. The Raper Collection, which includes this drawing, is a significant body of work documenting the natural history of the Pacific region. Raper's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects make this watercolor a valuable addition to any collection of natural history art. The Scarlet Robin is a fascinating bird, with males displaying bright red plumage, while females have a more subdued appearance. They are known to inhabit a variety of habitats, from forests to grasslands, and are often found near water. This illustration provides a glimpse into the natural history of this intriguing bird, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the rich biodiversity of the Australasian region.
