Known for its rounded body, fluffy plumage, and distinctive long tail, the Long-tailed Tit is a common resident in Europe, Asia, and parts of Northern Africa. It can often be seen in woodlands and gardens, traveling in small, sociable flocks.

Rendered with remarkable precision on Arches high press paper, this artwork emphasizes the bird’s soft, fluffy feathers and the contrast between its white face and black-and-pink back.
