Baltimore Oriole is a 1827 ink by Robert Havell Jr., a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a nest with two birds flying around it. The nest is made of twigs and has a round shape. The birds are orange, black, and yellow. They have long tails and sharp beaks. The background is light beige, and there are green leaves and flowers around the nest. The birds seem to be taking care of their nest. One bird is flying towards the nest, while the other is perched on a branch. The flowers and leaves add a touch of nature to the scene. This painting reminds me of the Romanticism movement, which often featured natural and emotional themes.
The Havell family of Reading, Berkshire, England, included a number of notable engravers, etchers and painters, as well as writers, publishers, educators, and musicians.
