"The Bird's Nest" is a print by Charles Knight, featuring a group of children in a lush garden setting. The scene depicts a boy kneeling down to examine a bird's nest, while two young girls watch with curiosity. The print exemplifies the Romantic era's fascination with nature and childhood innocence, capturing a moment of youthful wonder and discovery. The Art Institute of Chicago holds this charming piece, which is a beautiful example of color printing during the 19th century.
