EDITORS COMMENTS
of the Loten Collection of coloured drawings presents an exquisite 18th century illustration of two captivating birds: the White-headed Munia (Lonchura maja) and the Red Avadavat (Amandava amandava). This stunning artwork, painted by Pieter Cornelius de Bevere, showcases the birds in their vibrant plumage and intricate details. The White-headed Munia, also known as the White-headed Lark-finch, is a small, orange-and-brown passerine bird native to South Asia. The male is distinguished by its striking white head, while the female sports a brown head and orange cheeks. The bird is perched on a blue background, its long, curved bill pointed downwards, possibly in search of food. The Red Avadavat, or Red Munia, is another small, long-tailed passerine bird found in South and Southeast Asia. The male is adorned with a bright red body and face, while the female is a more subdued brown. In this illustration, the Red Avadavat is also perched, its bill slightly open, possibly uttering a call. Both birds belong to the Estrildidae family, which is known for its diverse range of colorful and distinctive species. This painting, created by Pieter Cornelius de Bevere between 1754 and 1757, is a testament to the artist's exceptional skill in capturing the essence and beauty of these birds. The Loten Collection, curated by Joan Gideon Loten, is a valuable resource for ornithological research and appreciation of natural history. This illustration is a reminder of the rich biodiversity that existed centuries ago and continues to inspire artists and naturalists today.
