EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 82: Chalcophaps indica, the Emerald Dove (Pieter Cornelius de Bevere, 1754-57, Loten Collection) This exquisite illustration showcases the captivating beauty of the Emerald Dove, Chalcophaps indica, as depicted in Plate 82 of the Loten Collection of coloured drawings of Birds, Mammals, Insects & Plants. The painting, created by the skilled hand of Pieter Cornelius de Bevere between 1754 and 1757, presents a detailed and lifelike representation of this enchanting bird. The Emerald Dove, a member of the Columbidae family, is renowned for its iridescent green plumage, which shines brilliantly in this watercolour masterpiece. The dove is perched gracefully on a rocky outcrop, its delicate blue wings spread slightly, revealing a hint of the red feathers beneath. Its bill is curved and red, and its eyes are large and expressive, adding to the bird's captivating appearance. The anatomy of the Emerald Dove is depicted with remarkable accuracy, from its slender neck to its long, pointed tail. The intricate details of its feathers are brought to life through de Bevere's expert use of watercolour, creating a stunning visual representation of this sauropsid avian species. The Emerald Dove, also known as the Common Emerald Dove or the Sauropsid Columbiformes Chalcophaps, is native to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. It is a popular subject in ornithology and natural history collections, and this illustration by de Bevere remains a testament to the beauty and intrigue of this unique bird species.
