EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor painting depicts the White-throated Toucan, Ramphastos tucanus, created by the skilled hand of Sarah Stone in the late 18th century. The stunning artwork is part of the Sir Ashton Lever collection, showcasing the natural history fascination of the era. The White-throated Toucan, a native of Central and South America, is renowned for its distinctive features. Its large, colorful bill, adorned with a prominent ridge and hooked tip, is a defining characteristic of this bird species. The toucan's blue face, red chest, and long, feathered rump contrast beautifully with its large, expressive, yellow eyes. The intricate details of the toucan's anatomy are expertly captured in this illustration. The artist, Sarah Stone, masterfully depicts the toucan's bib, which is a fleshy, brightly colored patch located at the base of the beak. This feature is not a true feathered extension but is actually a part of the bird's face. The long, curved beak of the toucan is not only an essential tool for foraging but also serves as a visual identifier for this iconic bird. This watercolor painting is a testament to the rich history of ornithology and the passion for natural history that existed during the 18th century. The work of Jonathan Elphick, who was active from 1729 to 1788, and later owned by Sir Ashton Lever from 1760 to 1844, is a valuable addition to the world of avian art. The Piciformes order, to which the Toucan belongs, has always been a subject of fascination due to their unique physical characteristics, and this painting beautifully captures the essence of the White-throated Toucan.
