Now Edwin Rose (@edwinrose.bsky.social) moves on to birds, and the original bird of paradise specimen that was illustrated for the title image of Pennant's 'Indian Zoology' - now present in the museum, with starling feet attached to replace the lost originals

Yes, here is a clearer image showing the penguins by Peter Paillou and a plate Pennant commissioned that reproduces one of the other images from this set of four that represents species from the arctic - do let me know if you know where they are!

Now @edwinrose.bsky.social tells us (with appropriate shock and horror) of the large lost painting of penguins by Peter Paillou from Pennant's Downing Hall, sold at auction and currently unaccounted for.
Pictured (almost visibly...) in the slide - if you've ever seen it, get in touch!
