National Gallery of Art

Six birds are depicted on branches of a bare tree with budding leaves. The illustration's color palette consists of browns, yellows, pinks, and hints of blue against a neutral background. At the top sits a small brown and blue bird on the highest branch. Below, a bird with pink, brown, and white plumage perches. Further down, a bird with rich brown and pink colors is situated. To the bottom left, a bird with a yellow chest and black wings perches, and near the center, a bird with brown and black wings with a hint of yellow stands. In the lower right, a brown bird with a white speckled belly sits. The tree branches extend vertically through the center of the image, supporting the birds at varying heights.
