EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 98: Dendrocygna javanica, the Lesser Whistling Duck, depicted in this stunning 18th-century watercolor painting by Pieter Cornelis de Bevere (1710-1789). Part of the Loten Collection of Coloured Drawings of Birds, Mammals, Insects & Plants, this artwork showcases the intricate details of this beautiful waterbird. The Lesser Whistling Duck (Dendrocygna javanica) is a medium-sized duck with a distinctive cream-colored face, brown chest, and black and white markings on its wings and back. This Anatidae species, also known as the Java Whistling Duck, is native to Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent. De Bevere's meticulous attention to anatomy is evident in the depiction of the Lesser Whistling Duck's foot, which is partially submerged in the water. The artist masterfully captures the delicate webbing between the toes, allowing for a lifelike representation of the bird's aquatic adaptations. The Sauropsida, a group of vertebrates that includes birds and reptiles, is represented here through the avian subject matter. The Lesser Whistling Duck is a member of the Anseriformes order, which also includes swans and geese. This exquisite watercolor, created between 1754 and 1757, serves as a testament to the naturalistic artistry of the 18th century. Pieter Cornelis de Bevere's dedication to accurately portraying the Lesser Whistling Duck's anatomy and appearance makes this artwork a valuable addition to any collection of ornithological illustrations.
