EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor artwork depicts a male and female New Zealand Quail, also known as Koreke (Coturnix novaeseelandiae), in their natural habitat. Painted by the renowned Dutch naturalist artist JG Keulemans for Sir Walter Lawry Buller's "A History of the Birds of New Zealand," this exquisite illustration was created in 1888. The New Zealand Quail is a native bird of New Zealand and is a member of the Phasianidae family, which includes pheasants, quails, and grouses. The male quail is depicted in this artwork with his distinctive black and white plumage, a vibrant orange face, and a distinctive black collar. In contrast, the female quail is shown with her cryptic brown and grey feathers, blending perfectly with the forest floor. Quails are ground-dwelling birds, and they are excellent runners and flyers with short, rounded wings. They are omnivorous and feed on a variety of seeds, fruits, insects, and other invertebrates. The New Zealand Quail is also known for its distinctive call, which sounds like a series of quick, sharp "chirps." The New Zealand Quail was an important food source for Maori people before European settlement. The birds were hunted for their meat, which was considered a delicacy. Today, the New Zealand Quail is still hunted for sport and is also farmed for its meat, which is sold as a gourmet product. This beautiful watercolor painting is a testament to the natural beauty of New Zealand's avian fauna and the skill of JG Keulemans as an artist. It provides a glimpse into the past, showcasing the New Zealand Quail as it was depicted during a time when natural history was a burgeoning field of scientific inquiry.
