This painting shows two birds: a Striated scops owl and a Rose-ringed parakeet. The birds are from Northern India, and the painting is very detailed. The artist paid close attention to the feathers and colors of the birds, which is interesting because it suggests they were trying to learn about these species. You can learn more about this style by looking at the movement: Romanticism.
