EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th century bird study depicts the Hamerkop, scientifically known as Scopus umbretta, a unique wading bird native to the African continent. The artwork was meticulously created by Dutch artist Robert Jacob Gordon between the years 1777 and 1786. The Hamerkop is shown in a close-up profile view, with its distinctive crest and smiling beak prominently displayed. The artist employed various techniques such as chalk, ink, pencil, and watercolor paint on paper to bring the intricacies of the Hamerkop's plumage to life. The artwork is titled "Hamerkop (Scopus Umbretta); with Rhenish (Rijnlandse) scale" and is believed to be part of a larger sketchbook or ornithological study. The Hamerkop is a large, brown, shorebird with a distinctive crest that resembles a helmet, earning it the nickname "hammerkop" due to its resemblance to a medieval hammerhead. This bird is commonly found in the low countries of Africa and is an essential part of the natural history and wildlife of the continent. The artwork is a testament to the scientific curiosity and artistic skill of the time, showcasing the attention to detail and dedication to documenting the natural world. The Rhenish (Rijnlandse) scale, visible at the bottom of the artwork, indicates the size of the bird relative to the Dutch Rhenish foot, a unit of measurement used during the 18th century in the Netherlands. This beautiful artwork is now part of the collections of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, showcasing the rich heritage of European natural history and art.
