EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 51: Pitta brachyura, or the Indian Pitta, is depicted in this stunning watercolor painting by Pieter Cornelis de Bevere, part of the Loten Collection of Coloured Drawings of Birds, Mammals, Insects & Plants (1754-57). The Indian Pitta, also known as the short-tailed pitta, is a small, vibrant bird belonging to the family Pittidae, order Passeriformes, and class Sauropsida. The Pitta brachyura is characterized by its distinctive black and orange plumage, with a broad orange collar, pink legs, and a yellow rump. The male and female of this species exhibit similar coloration, but the female has a less prominent orange collar. In this painting, the Indian Pitta is shown perched on a rock, displaying its striking appearance and long, tailless body. The Indian Pitta is native to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, and is known to inhabit moist forests and wetlands. This bird is an omnivore, feeding on a variety of insects, crustaceans, and small vertebrates. The Indian Pitta is also known for its unique breeding habits, as the female lays her eggs in a shallow depression on the ground, which is then incubated by the male. This watercolor painting by Pieter Cornelis de Bevere provides a detailed and accurate representation of the Indian Pitta's anatomy and appearance, showcasing the intricacies of its feathers and the subtle shading of its colors. The artist's skillful use of watercolor techniques creates a lifelike image of this fascinating bird, transporting us to the lush forests and wetlands of its natural habitat.
