Robert Stroud 

"Robert Stroud" is a realistic portrait painting by David Michael Bowers, created in a photorealistic style. The painting depicts a man, likely Robert Stroud, with three yellow canaries perched on and around him. One canary sits on Stroud's head, another on his shoulder, and the third perches on his shirt, near his collar. The canaries are a prominent symbol of Stroud's time in prison where he raised and bred birds. The painting's background features a cityscape with a river, possibly referencing Stroud's life, and a barbed wire fence suggesting his imprisonment.
