Cardinal Bird and Yellow Jasmine [After 1867]

Cardinal Bird and Yellow Jasmine [After 1867]

View of a central red cardinal (male) set in a wooded environment with yellow jasmine flowers. In the foreground on the left is a large fan-like piece of vegetation. On the right there is another fanlike-plant that is much smaller. At the center is a branch that extends upwards and forks into two smaller branches. On the top of this branch perches the cardinal, who faces in profile toward the right, with its head slightly lifted, and its beak slightly open. Attached to this branch is another smaller branch that snakes around it, with yellow flowers that bloom at the ends of the branch. These flowers extend upwards toward the upper left corner, and downwards into the foreground. To the left, above the large fan-like plant, is a large tree trunk, which also has jasmine snaking around it. Above the cardinal is another section of green leaves that frame the bird. In the background, there is a grassy ground, with a forest made up of many tall trees.
