"Java Dove or Boorah Poutaran" is a notable illustration from the collection titled "Drawings of Birds from Malacca," which dates back to the period between 1805 and 1818. This artwork is attributed to an anonymous artist and is part of a series that depicts the avian biodiversity of the Malacca region, which was an important trading port and a melting pot of cultural influences during the early 19th century. The Java Dove, also known as the Pink-necked Green Pigeon (Treron vernans), is a species native to the region, and the term "Boorah Poutaran" possibly refers to a local name for the bird at the time.

The illustration is significant for its historical and ornithological value, providing insight into the natural history documentation practices of the era as well as the species that inhabited the Malacca region during the early 1800s. The artwork is executed with attention to detail and naturalism, reflecting the period's growing interest in scientific illustration and the documentation of biodiversity. As a piece of natural history art, it serves as a valuable resource for understanding the region's ecological past and the artistic conventions of the time.

The "Drawings of Birds from Malacca" collection, to which the "Java Dove or Boorah Poutaran" belongs, is an example of the intersection between art and science, and it contributes to the broader narrative of colonial exploration and the study of natural history in Southeast Asia. The anonymity of the artist adds an element of mystery to the work, inviting speculation about the identity and background of the illustrator who captured the likeness of the Java Dove and other avian species with such skill and precision.
