Labrador Falcon

About this work

This painting features two birds of prey, likely falcons, perched on tree branches. The top bird faces left, while the bottom bird faces right, with its wings spread wide. The birds' feathers display a range of dark and light browns, with intricate patterns visible on their bodies. The birds are depicted in a naturalistic style, with attention to detail in their plumage and expressions. The branches they perch on are rendered in a more subtle manner, with a focus on texture and tone. The overall effect is one of quiet intensity, with the birds appearing to be in a state of alertness. To learn more about the artist behind this work, look up Havell, Jr., Robert.
