EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 10: Lord Derbys Parakeet, Psittacula derbiana, exquisitely depicted in this 18th century painting by Pieter Cornelis de Bevere from the Loten Collection of coloured drawings. The parakeet, named after the 12th Earl of Derby, Edward Stanley (1702-1776), is perched gracefully on a mauve-hued branch, showcasing its striking anatomy and vibrant plumage. The parakeet's head is adorned with a distinct grey and green pattern, contrasting against its bright mauve beak and chin. Pieter Cornelis de Bevere, a Flemish painter born in 1710, meticulously captured the intricate details of this avian subject, highlighting its elegant posture and the delicate texture of its feathers. This illustration, created between 1754 and 1757, is a testament to the artist's exceptional skill and the naturalist's fascination with the diverse world of birds. The parakeet, a captivating addition to the Loten Collection, continues to enthrall viewers with its beauty and charm.
