White-eyed Fly Catcher is a 1829 ink by Robert Havell Jr., a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This picture shows a bird perched on a branch. The bird has a white eye and brown feathers. Pink flowers grow on the branch behind it. The leaves are bright green. The artist used careful lines to draw every leaf and flower. This type of drawing is called *engraving*. It was made in 1829. Look up *engraving* to see how artists made prints like this.
The Havell family of Reading, Berkshire, England, included a number of notable engravers, etchers and painters, as well as writers, publishers, educators, and musicians.
