1. Title: "Black-headed Jay (Garrulus lanceolatus) - Number 14 of 61 Watercolour Drawings of Birds from the Himalaya Mountains in the Collection of Lady Mary Bentinck" This exquisite watercolour painting depicts the Black-headed Jay (Garrulus lanceolatus), the fourteenth piece in a series of sixty-one avian illustrations produced in 1833. The collection, which is housed in the Library & Archives at Mary Evans Picture Library, was assembled by Lady Mary Bentinck during her time in India. The Black-headed Jay, a member of the Corvidae family and the Passeriformes order, is native to the Himalayas and other parts of Asia. Its distinctive plumage features a glossy black head, neck, and wings, contrasting with its blue-grey back, white underparts, and red eyes. This bird is known for its intelligence, agility, and versatility in various habitats. The artist responsible for this work remains unknown, but their skill is evident in the intricate details and lifelike representation of the Black-headed Jay. The painting showcases the bird's wing structure, revealing the sauropsid ancestry of birds, as well as its expressive eyes and vibrant colors. Lady Mary Bentinck, an influential figure in British colonial India, was an avid collector of natural history specimens and art. Her extensive collection of watercolour drawings of birds from the Himalayas provides valuable insights into the avian diversity of the region during the early 19th century. This Black-headed Jay painting is a testament to the artistic talent and natural curiosity that flourished during this era. The rich history of this artwork is evident in its intricate details, vibrant colors, and the story it tells about the natural world and the people who explored it. This watercolour drawing offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty of the Black-headed Jay and the artistic prowess of its creator.
