A Starling and a Lark

Amerikanische Grafik 1857–1868, 1863

The image shows two birds on their backs. One bird has glossy black feathers with iridescent highlights, while the other is tawny with white and brown spotted undersides. The color palette includes earthy browns, tawny yellows, and hints of iridescent greens and blues. The larger tawny bird is slightly on top and to the right of the darker bird, which is to the left. In the background, there is subtle imagery of grass and foliage in muted natural tones on a brown background.
