EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century illustration, Plate 2 from the Loten Collection of Coloured Drawings of Birds, Mammals, Insects & Plants, depicts the Shikra, or the mottled hawk, Accipiter badius, in a moment of repose. The painting, executed by the skilled hand of Pieter Cornelis de Bevere (1710-1789), showcases the hawk's intricately patterned plumage, with its greenish-brown and black mottling creating a stunning contrast against the lush, green foliage. The Shikra, a member of the Accipitridae family and the order Accipitriformes, is a bird of prey native to Africa and southern Asia. The Shikra is perched gracefully on a branch, its sharp, hooked beak and piercing eyes focused intently on some unseen prey. The illustration also reveals a small fruit nestled among the leaves, hinting at the hawk's varied diet, which includes birds, reptiles, and rodents, as well as fruits and berries. The meticulous attention to detail in the painting, from the textured bark of the branch to the intricate patterns on the hawk's feathers, is a testament to the artistic skill of Pieter Cornelis de Bevere and the naturalistic approach of the Loten Collection. This illustration, which dates from around 1754-57, is a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of the past, offering a window into the world of a bird of prey that continues to captivate and inspire us today. The Loten Collection, which was compiled by the Dutch naturalist Joan Gideon Loten (1722-1781), is an invaluable resource for ornithologists, historians, and anyone with an interest in the natural world.
