Kentucky Fly-catching Warbler is a 1834 ink by John Woodhouse Audubon, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows two small birds perched on thin branches, surrounded by a yellow flower with broad petals. The male bird is labeled "1" and the female "2," both facing slightly different directions. The background is plain, keeping the focus on the birds and the plant. The text below names the birds "Kentucky Fly-catching Warbler" and the plant "Magnolia acuminata." The artist used careful details to show how the birds look in nature. Look up Audubon, John Woodhouse to see more of his bird illustrations.
