Rice Bunting is a 1829 ink by Robert Havell Jr., a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows two birds perched on branches with red leaves. The top bird is black and white with brown markings, while the bottom bird is mostly brown with black stripes. The birds are positioned on either side of the painting, with the branches curving around them. The red leaves add a pop of color to the otherwise muted tones of the birds and branches. If you like this style, you might also enjoy the works of other Romanticism artists.
The Havell family of Reading, Berkshire, England, included a number of notable engravers, etchers and painters, as well as writers, publishers, educators, and musicians.
