DescriptionThis print is a horizontally oriented color image. The image depicts a small bird (a Yellow-throated warbler) perched on a lone, thin branch extending from the right edge of the image toward the left. The bird is mostly gray, black, and white, with a yellow throat. There is a group of two leaves on the branch to the left of the bird and a group of three leaves to the right of the bird. A small, round fruit hangs from the branch below the group of leaves on the right. The background of the image is a solid, light green.Exhibition History
