Painting Description
"Cheriechap and Sepa Pootrie, the Humming Bird, from 'Drawings of Birds from Malacca', c.1805-18" is a work attributed to an anonymous artist, part of a collection of ornithological illustrations created during the early 19th century. The collection showcases the rich avian biodiversity of the Malacca region, which is located in present-day Malaysia. The illustrations are significant for their historical and scientific value, providing insight into the species that inhabited the area during that period, as well as the artistic conventions of natural history illustration of the time.
The specific drawing titled "Cheriechap and Sepa Pootrie, the Humming Bird" is notable for its depiction of two bird species, presumably native to the Malacca region. The artwork is characterized by its attention to detail and the use of watercolor to capture the vibrant plumage and delicate features of the birds. Despite the title's reference to a hummingbird, it is important to note that true hummingbirds are native to the Americas and not found in Malaysia; this suggests either a case of mistaken identity or a colloquial name for a local species.
As with many historical works by unknown artists, little may be known about the creator's identity, background, or intentions. The collection to which this drawing belongs provides valuable documentation of the fauna as observed by naturalists or artists during the British colonial presence in Southeast Asia. The drawings serve not only as artistic expressions but also as scientific records that contribute to the understanding of the region's natural history.
The "Drawings of Birds from Malacca" are an example of the intersection between art and science, reflecting the practices of documentation and study during the colonial era. They remain a testament to the diversity of bird species in the Malacca region and are of interest to both art historians and ornithologists.
