The Hedge Sparrow
Henry Constantine Richter 1821 - 1902
Summary
Two lightly coloured Hedge Sparrows facing the left perch on a large, thick and fungus-coated branch, and a more narrow leafy branch rising upwards. On the larger branch there is a bold orange mushroom seated just behind one of the sparrows, and visible beneath the birds and branches in the background is a bed of long grass.
