EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 61: Motacilla flava cinereocapilla, the Cinereous Yellow Wagtail, elegantly depicted in this 18th-century painting by Pieter Cornelis de Bevere from the Loten Collection. The Cinereous Yellow Wagtail is a passerine bird belonging to the Motacillidae family, known for its distinctive long, yellow central tail feathers and black mask. This illustration captures the bird perched gracefully on a slender branch, its vibrant yellow body contrasting beautifully with the lush, green foliage of the angiosperm plant behind it. The flowering plant, an angiosperma or flowering plant, adds an element of natural beauty to the scene, its delicate petals and intricate structure a testament to the rich diversity of the natural world during the Magnoliophyta era. The Passeriformes order, to which the Cinereous Yellow Wagtail belongs, is characterized by their strong, pointed beaks, which are well-suited for capturing insects and other small prey. This illustration, created between 1754 and 1757, offers a glimpse into the natural history of the past, showcasing the intricate details of both the bird and the plant, and the harmony between them.
