Dates

  • Creation: 1840

Physical Description

30 x 49cm watercolor

General

Plains-wanderer [Collared plain wanderer]. Finished watercolor. At lower right corner "Mrs Gould's." The two birds lack the distinctive neck and chest coloring and are therefore perhaps immature. The published plate follows the positions of the birds fairly closely but is completely redrawn and shows the adult coloring. Watermarked "J Whatman 1837." Previously cited as GS2 or 2GS (and so marked in pencil on reverse). Gift of Dr. Gordon C. Sauer. Artist's name(s): Gould, John; Gould, Elizabeth.
