Pine Creeping Warbler

Robert Havell after John James Audubon

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of two birds perched on a pine tree branch. The illustration depicts two small birds positioned near the top of a diagonally oriented brown branch adorned with slender green pine needles and a pine cone. The bird on the left is drawn in earthy tones, with darker brown on its back and wings complementing its light brown head. The bird on the right showcases a bright yellow underbelly fading into olive-green and black wing feathers. This is in the style of John James Audubon.
