Robert Havell after John James Audubon

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of two puffins in a coastal setting. The scene features one puffin standing on a rocky outcrop while another peeks out from a burrow nestled in grassy terrain. The puffin standing outside showcases its colorful beak and red feet, along with its black and white plumage. The background includes a body of water leading to distant landforms under a pale sky. This illustration is detailed and scientific.
