EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor painting, titled "New-Holland Lark" by the Port Jackson Painter from the Watling Collection, depicts the Anthus novaeseelandiae, or the New Zealand pipit, a small, brown, long-bodied bird native to Australasia. The pipit is a passerine bird belonging to the Motacillidae family, also known as titlarks or wagtails. This particular specimen is perched on a rock, its head turned towards its side as it calls out, displaying its distinctive spotted throat and chest. The New Zealand pipit is a sauropsid animal, meaning it is a reptile or bird descended from the ancient reptile stock. This illustration, created in the 18th century, showcases the bird's intricate plumage and delicate features, capturing the essence of its natural beauty. The pipit was an important bird species for early naturalists and explorers in the region, and this painting is a valuable historical record of its appearance. The Port Jackson Painter, also known as Thomas Watling, was an accomplished watercolorist who produced numerous illustrations of Australian and New Zealand fauna for various natural history publications. This particular painting is part of the Watling Collection, which is held in the Mitchell Library in Sydney, Australia. The New Zealand pipit remains an iconic bird species in New Zealand, and this beautiful watercolor painting continues to be a source of inspiration and fascination for bird enthusiasts and natural history enthusiasts alike.
