Although she never actually visited the Pacific she became well known for her Hawaian, Pacific and Australian subjects. Her work was inspired by the many unknown and often exotic species being seen by Europeans for the first time, and which were being brought back to England on Expeditions, such as those of Captain Cook to the New World. Sarah`s Stone`s detailed and meticulous studies served not only as essential scientific documentation for scientists of the late eighteenth century , but also as works of art in their own right.For comparable watercolours to these- see a watercolour of the Owlet Nightjar on a Branch (National Library of Australia, Canberra) ; and a watercolour depicting An African Grey Parrot (Yale Center for British Art, New Haven. Paul Mellon Collection)
