EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolour depicts Chrysolophus pictus, the magnificent Golden Pheasant, in its full regal splendor. The artwork is part of the Large Series plate 47 from the John Reeves Collection of Zoological Drawings from Canton, China, created during the nineteenth century. John Reeves (1774-1853), a British merchant and naturalist, amassed an impressive collection of over 2,000 watercolours and drawings of Chinese birds and animals. The Golden Pheasant, native to the mountainous regions of western China, is renowned for its vibrant golden feathers adorning its nape and long, flowing green and gold plumes on its back. In this illustration, the bird is perched gracefully, displaying its distinctive face with a bright red wattle, blue-green collar, and piercing yellow eyes. The intricate details of its anatomy are beautifully rendered, from the long, slender legs to the delicate quills of its feathers. The Golden Pheasant is a member of the Galliformes order, a group of birds that includes chickens, turkeys, and quails. This illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of this bird, offering a window into the rich biodiversity of Asia during the 19th century. The artwork's exquisite detail and lifelike quality serve as a testament to the skill and artistry of the Chinese artists who created it, making it an invaluable addition to any collection of natural history or ornithological art.
