Red-Headed Duck is a 1836 ink by Robert Havell Jr., a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a detailed picture of a red-headed duck in this painting. The duck is shown in a natural setting, which was a popular way to depict animals at the time. This style of artwork was often used in books and other publications to help people learn about different species. The attention to detail in this piece is similar to the work of artist Havell, Jr., Robert.
The Havell family of Reading, Berkshire, England, included a number of notable engravers, etchers and painters, as well as writers, publishers, educators, and musicians.
