Jacques Barraband A brown-throated parakeet

Signed ‘Barraband. f.’ and numbered ‘35’. Black chalk, watercolor and bodycolor on wove paper. 20 1/2 x 13 7/8 in. (52 x 35 cm).

Jacques Barraband is justly celebrated as the finest ornithological artist of his time. Drawings of flowers, insects and birds make up the greater part of the artist’s graphic work. His most important achievement was a series of more than 300 drawings in watercolor and bodycolor executed to illustrate François Levaillant’s monumental works of natural history and birds. This elegant drawing of a brown-throated parakeet was in Le Vaillant’s monumental dictionary of parakeets published in 1801. Today the brown-throated parakeet lives mainly in South America.

Animal of the Day!

Cuban Macaw (Ara tricolor)

(Painting by Jacques Barraband)

Extinction Date- 1864

Habitat- Cuba

Size (Weight/Length)- 50 cm long

Diet- Seeds; Fruits

Cool Facts- The Cuban macaw was widespread throughout Cuba but, unfortunately, little is known about their behavior. They were thought to have nested in hollow trees and live in small flocks. They most likely ate hard seeds, like palm nuts, and tough fruits, crushing them with their beak. Cuban macaws were originally hunted for their feathers and meat by native peoples but when Europeans arrived in the 15th century, they were prized cagebirds. The macaws were captured alive and shipped off to Europe to be sold as a pet. A massive hurricane was the nail in the coffin and the rest of the macaws were wiped out. Scarlet macaws remain as the Cuban macaw’s closest relative. While scarlet macaws are considered least concern, they are still threatened by the pet trade and hunting in a similar manner to the Cuban macaw. Conservation efforts to prevent illegal poaching for both dead and alive macaws is in effect throughout their native range.

Rating- 11/10 (One of the smallest macaws and one of the most brilliantly colored.)

Golden Pheasant, Cuban Amazon and two Sun Parakeets by Jacques Barraband (1768-1809)

“Some birds are not meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are too bright, their songs too sweet and wild. So you let them go, or when you open the cage to feed them they somehow fly out past you. And the part of you that knows it was wrong to imprison them in the first place rejoices, but still, the place where you live is that much more drab and empty for their departure.” ~Stephen King, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption: A Story from Different Seasons

Pauline Knip A pileated woodpecker

Watercolor and gouache on paper. 440 x 305mm., window mounted.

The Fairhaven inventories attribute this very fine unsigned drawing to Pauline Knip.

Pauline Knip (1781-1851) was a respected ornithological artist, the student of Jacques Barraband. Between 1808 and 1814 she exhibited her works at the Paris salon, receiving an award in 1810. She illustrated Temminck's Les Pigeons, of which Sitwell notes: "Superbly painted and reproduced these are among the finest of all bird plates".
