Golden Plover is a 1836 ink by Robert Havell Jr., a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows three birds in flight or standing, with their bodies facing different directions. The birds have brown and yellow feathers with black spots, and their wings are spread out. The background is a light brown color with a body of water and mountains in the distance. The birds appear to be in motion, with one flying towards the left side of the painting and the other two standing on the ground. The artist has used a range of colors to depict the birds' feathers, from light brown to dark brown and yellow. The painting is a beautiful representation of nature, capturing the beauty of these birds in flight and at rest.
