Pine Creeping Warbler is a 1832 ink by Robert Havell Jr., a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows two birds perched on a pine branch. One is brown with a green back, and the other is bright yellow with a pale belly. The branch is detailed with sharp needles and rough bark, all drawn with careful lines. The artist used a mix of colors to show the birds’ feathers and the pine’s texture. The title at the bottom says "Pine Creeping Warbler," which helps identify the birds. If you like this kind of detailed bird art, look up engraving to see how artists created these precise lines.
The Havell family of Reading, Berkshire, England, included a number of notable engravers, etchers and painters, as well as writers, publishers, educators, and musicians.
