Glossy Black Cockatoo 2
Artist: George Raper
Circa: 1789
Location: Sydney Harbour
A striking 18th century cockatoo depiction by George Raper. Among the fourteen species of cockatoo in Australia, the black cockatoo are more regal in flight, appearance and voice than their screechy common white cousin. Witnessing a slow flying flock of black cockatoos, gracefully gliding over treetops, husky calls echoing through a forest valley, evokes a prehistoric scene where dinosaurs once roamed.
