EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 58 of the Loten Collection of Coloured Drawings presents a captivating illustration of the Common Iora, Aegithina tiphia, by Pieter Cornelis de Bevere (1710-1789). The 18th-century Flemish artist masterfully captured the essence of this vibrant, long-tailed passerine in this stunning painting. The Common Iora, also known as the Common Green Iora or the African Golden-bellied Greenbul, is a small bird belonging to the Aegithinidae family. The bird is depicted perched gracefully on a branch, its bright green plumage contrasting beautifully with the brown bark of the tree. Its long, curved tail feathers fan out behind it, adding to its striking appearance. The Common Iora is a front-facing, passerine bird, with a distinctive black mask covering its eyes and a yellow underbelly. Its beak is short and curved, well-suited for its omnivorous diet. This illustration, created between 1754 and 1757, is part of the extensive collection of coloured drawings of Birds, Mammals, Insects & Plants by Joan Gideon Loten (1722-1781). The Loten Collection is an invaluable resource for ornithological research and conservation efforts, providing detailed and accurate representations of various species. Pieter Cornelis de Bevere's exceptional talent is evident in this depiction of the Common Iora, which continues to captivate viewers with its lifelike details and vivid colours even after more than two centuries.
