Chlamydera nuchalis
Physical Description
Pencil; watercolor
General
Colored layout sketch for Gould item 2273. Previously cited as GS8 or 8GS. Artist's name(s): Gould, John[?]; Hart, William Matthew[?]. It is tempting to attribute this to John Gould, but in spite of roughness of technique the facility with which the brush was handled suggests Richter or Hart; this drawing flows so smoothly into Gould item 2272 and 2273, and the latter shares so much of style with Hart's Chlamydodera orientalis (Birds of New Guinea I: 44) that a tentative artist identification is Hart. Dr. Sauer, in his 1982 book, strongly supports Gould for this drawing and, less strongly, Richter for Gould item 2272 and 2273.
