Plate 45: Sooty-headed Bulbul (Pycnonotus aurigaster), a stunning illustration by Pieter Cornelis de Bevere from the Loten Collection of Coloured Drawings of Birds, Mammals, Insects & Plants, created between 1754 and 1757. This exquisite 18th-century artwork depicts the Sooty-headed Bulbul in its full glory, with its distinctive sooty-black crest, long, curved beak, and vibrant yellow rump. The bird is depicted perched gracefully on a branch, showcasing its elegant form and intricate plumage. The Sooty-headed Bulbul is a passerine bird belonging to the Pycnonotidae family and the order Sauropsida. It is native to South Asia, specifically in India, Sri Lanka, and the eastern Himalayas. This bulbul is known for its distinctive head markings, which are jet-black and contrast sharply with its yellow underparts. The illustration captures the bird's intense gaze and the intricate details of its feathers, which are rendered in beautiful, vivid colors. The artist, Pieter Cornelis de Bevere, was a renowned Dutch naturalist and artist, who is known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects. This illustration is a testament to his skill and dedication to the natural world. The Sooty-headed Bulbul is a popular bird among birdwatchers and naturalists, and its image has been featured in numerous ornithological publications throughout history. This illustration, in particular, is a valuable addition to any collection of natural history art, and a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the natural world that existed in the 18th century.
