EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, Plate 73 from the Loten Collection of Coloured Drawings, showcases the intricate details of the Lesser Hill Myna or Gracula religiosa indicia, a native bird of the Indian subcontinent. Painted by the skilled hand of Pieter Cornelius de Bevere between 1754 and 1757, this exquisite work of art captures the essence of this fascinating bird. The Lesser Hill Myna is a member of the starling family, Acridotheres, and is easily identified by its distinctive crest, which gives it the common name of the Crested Myna. In this painting, we see the bird perched on a branch, its vibrant plumage in full display. The bird's bill, curved and pointed, is a testament to its omnivorous diet, which includes a variety of fruits, seeds, and insects. The Lesser Hill Myna is an eudicot, a type of angiosperm, and is part of the Fabaceae family, which includes a wide range of flowering plants, such as beans and peas. The bird's anatomy is well-represented in this painting, with its ear opening visible near the base of its feathers, and its muscular body poised for flight or for the next meal. The Lesser Hill Myna is an essential part of the ecosystem, playing a role in seed dispersal and insect control. Its distinctive call is a common sound in the forests and open woodlands of its native range. This beautiful painting not only serves as a testament to the natural history of the Lesser Hill Myna but also as a reminder of the intricate relationships between different species and their environments.
