Wood Ibis, Scarlet Ibis, Flamingo, and White Ibis is a 1811 ink by John G. Warnicke, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This picture shows four birds standing near water. One is white with a long neck and curved beak, another is bright red with a long S-shaped neck, and two others are smaller versions of those colors. The background looks like a flat, cloudy sky with a simple shoreline. The red birds have black wing tips and yellow legs, while the white ones have blue-gray wings. The artist used careful lines to show each feather and detail. Next, look up etching to see how this image was made.
