Yellow-billed Cuckoo is a 1827 ink by William Home Lizars, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting features two birds, one with a white belly and black tail feathers, and the other with brown feathers and a long tail. The birds are perched on branches with green leaves and brown fruits. A butterfly is also visible on the leaves. The painting is rendered in muted colors, with shades of green, brown, and white dominating the palette. The branches and leaves are intricately detailed, while the birds and butterfly are depicted in a more stylized manner. The painting's use of etching and engraving techniques creates a sense of texture and depth.
