Drawing of a bird is a 1812 by Edwin Landseer, a Romanticism work, depicting parrot, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a single bird perched on a thin branch. The parrot faces left, its feathers drawn in quick, light strokes. The background is plain, letting the bird stand out. The artist focused on the bird’s sharp beak and long tail feathers, making it look lively. The lines are simple but capture its shape well. Want to see more? Check out Edwin Landseer.
