Green Bird with Red Throat and Brown and Orange Bird is a 1734 ink by George Edwards, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows two birds perched on a small hill. The top bird is bright green with a red throat and a thin beak, standing on a bare branch. Below it, a brown and orange bird with a striped chest is pecking at the ground, its head tilted up as if listening. The green bird’s branch has tiny twigs growing from its head, making it look like it’s wearing antlers. The background is simple—a patch of grass, a fence, and a few scattered eggs on the ground.
