Prairie Titlark is a 1830 ink by Robert Havell Jr., a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting depicts a small bird perched on a mossy rock, surrounded by pink flowers and green grass. The bird has a brown back, white belly, and a distinctive black stripe above its beak. It faces to the right, with its head turned slightly towards the viewer. The bird's feathers are rendered in soft, muted tones, while the flowers and grass are depicted in more vibrant colors. The overall effect is one of serenity and natural beauty. For more works by this artist, explore the portfolio of Havell, Jr., Robert.
