Golden-Crowned Thrush is a 1832 ink by Robert Havell Jr., a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts two birds perched on a branch, surrounded by leaves and red berries. The birds are brown and white, with distinctive markings on their feathers. The branch is set against a light-colored background, with a few rocks and plants visible at the base. A closer look reveals the intricate details of the birds' plumage, as well as the texture of the branch and leaves. The artist's use of color and shading creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the image.
