This painting and others will be part of my presentation at the upcoming History of Science Society's Virtual Festival on 9 December 2023:
"The Parrot in the Picture: Biogeographical Knowledge as a Decolonization Tool in Visual Culture Studies"

I visited the National Gallery of Ireland three times to finally see the upper left painting. It is a beautiful watercolor and it's hidden in a cupboard except on two days. I went back on Sunday to see it in all it's glory.
