Gray Tyrant is a 1833 ink by Robert Havell Jr., a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a bird perched on a branch, surrounded by green leaves and red flowers. The bird has a gray body with a white chest and a distinctive red and yellow spot on its head. Its beak is black, and it faces to the left. The branch is adorned with several red flowers that have not yet bloomed, adding a touch of elegance to the scene. The background of the painting is a soft, creamy color that complements the natural hues of the bird and the foliage.
