Hermit Thrush

About this work

This picture shows two brown-and-speckled birds perched on a bare branch. The branch is covered in clusters of small red berries. One bird faces left, its feathers detailed with soft strokes. The other bird faces right, its wings slightly spread. The background is plain white, letting the colors of the birds and berries stand out. The artist labeled the birds "Hermit Thrush" and noted male and female. The tiny red berries add a pop of color against the birds’ muted tones. Want to know more? Check out the technique: engraving.
