This striking portrait captures the regal presence of the Southern Cassowary, one of Australia's most magnificent and prehistoric-looking birds. Robyn Clarke's extraordinary attention to detail brings to life the cassowary's distinctive features – from its vivid blue neck and face to the prominent casque (helmet) crowning its head and the vibrant red wattles cascading down its neck.
The intense gaze and noble profile of this rainforest guardian are rendered with remarkable precision, showcasing both the bird's beauty and its commanding presence. Each feather is meticulously detailed, capturing the unique texture and rich colouration that makes the cassowary one of Australia's most recognizable native species.
As the world's third-largest bird and an essential seed disperser for Queensland's tropical rainforests, the cassowary plays a vital role in maintaining ecosystem health. This artwork honours both the visual splendour and ecological importance of this vulnerable species.
The perfect addition to any nature lover's collection or an ideal gift for those who appreciate Australian wildlife art.
