Plate 53: Pycnonotus zeylanicus, Straw-headed Bulbul - A Striking 18th Century Illustration by Pieter Cornelis de Bevere This exquisite illustration, Plate 53 from the Loten Collection of coloured drawings of Birds, Mammals, Insects & Plants, features the Straw-headed Bulbul (Pycnonotus zeylanicus). The painting was created by the renowned Flemish artist Pieter Cornelis de Bevere (1710-1789), also known as Pieter de Hooch the Younger or Pieter van Aelst. The Straw-headed Bulbul is a passerine bird belonging to the Pycnonotidae family and the Passeriformes order. Native to South Asia, this bird is characterized by its distinctive straw-colored head, red mottled breast, and grey and green plumage. In this illustration, the bird is depicted perched gracefully on a branch, showcasing its intricate anatomy and unique features. The bulbul's head is adorned with a prominent red moustache, adding to its distinctive appearance. Its large, expressive eyes are fixed intently on something beyond the frame, conveying a sense of curiosity and alertness. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the textured branches, the intricate feather patterns, and the lifelike rendering of the bird's anatomy. This illustration, created between 1754 and 1757, is a testament to the artistic skill and naturalistic accuracy of Pieter Cornelis de Bevere. The Loten Collection, which includes over 2,000 drawings, was a significant contribution to the study and documentation of natural history during the 18th century. Today, this illustration remains an important historical and artistic record of the Straw-headed Bulbul and the natural world of the time.
