Bewick is a Rococo painting artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Thomas Bewick brought birds to life with delicate watercolours and fine engravings. He painted A Malacca Crossbeak perched on twigs and a Black and White Kingfisher showing off its flashy feathers. His work sits in the quiet tradition of natural history illustration between the late 1700s and early 1800s. Tap Flying Fish to see how he captured ocean gliders with the same careful lines.
