EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning bodycolour and watercolour artwork by William King, created around 1750, showcases the harmonious relationship between nature's finest: a Malus sp. apple tree and a wren. The apple tree, a member of the Rosaceae family, is depicted in full bloom with its delicate pink and white flowers, showcasing its status as an angiosperm, or flowering plant. The apple tree is also a dicot, characterized by having two seed leaves, and is a vital member of the eudicot clade, Rosid. The wren, a small, vibrant bird belonging to the Passeriformes order and the family Troglodytidae, is perched gracefully on a branch of the apple tree, its plumage a beautiful contrast against the lush green leaves. The wren is a passerine bird, a group of birds characterized by their perching behavior and three toes pointing forward. The apple tree is not only a source of beauty but also of sustenance, with its edible fruit being a favorite among many animals, including the wren. The apple, a popular food source for humans as well, is a member of the Rosales order and the Rosaceae family. This artwork, held by the Natural History Museum in London, is a testament to the intricate details and accuracy of botanical illustrations during the 18th century. King's masterful use of color and detail brings the apple tree and wren to life, highlighting the interconnectedness of the natural world.
