Plate 11: A Stunning 18th Century Watercolour Illustration of a Red-Rumped Parrot, Psittaculirostris sp., by Pieter Cornelis de Bevere This exquisite watercolour painting, Plate 11 from the Loten Collection of Coloured Drawings of Birds, Mammals, Insects & Plants, depicts a vibrant and captivating parrot species, the Red-Rumped Parrot, Psittaculirostris sp. The illustration, created by the skilled hand of Pieter Cornelis de Bevere between 1754 and 1757, showcases the parrot perched gracefully on a slender branch, its brilliant red rump contrasting strikingly with the lush, green foliage. The Dutch artist, Pieter Cornelis de Bevere, born in 1710, was a renowned naturalist and artist of his time. His meticulous attention to detail and exceptional skill in capturing the essence of his subjects is evident in this stunning illustration. The Parrot's intricately patterned plumage, with its iridescent sheen, is rendered in breathtaking detail, showcasing the artist's mastery of the medium. The Sauropsida order, to which the parrot belongs, is an ancient group of vertebrates that includes reptiles and birds. The Parrots, a family of birds within the order Psittaciformes and the suborder Psittacidae, are known for their distinctive, colourful plumage and strong, curved beaks. This illustration, a testament to the natural beauty of the Red-Rumped Parrot, provides a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the natural world as it was documented during the 18th century. The Loten Collection, a valuable resource for ornithological research and conservation efforts, continues to inspire and educate us about the wonders of the natural world.
