Illustration of a Eurasian whimbrel (Numenius phaeopus), a wader in the large family Scolopacidae. It is one of the most widespread of the curlews, breeding across much of subarctic Asia and Europe. 18th century watercolor painting by Lady Elizabeth Symonds Gwillim (1763-1807). Lady Gwillim painted a series of about 200 watercolours of Indian birds. Produced about 20 years before John James Audubon, her work has been acclaimed for its accuracy and natural postures as they were drawn from observations of the birds in life. | |
