Joseph Clayton Bentley painted rustic landscapes and wildlife in watercolor between the 1830s and 1850s. His "Woodland scene, with a startled heron" shows a flash of white wings near a quiet pool, a typical moment he caught in pencil and paint. He used fine brushes to capture the dappled light and textures of feathers and ferns. Tap "Woodland scene, with a startled heron" to zoom into the delicate greens and startled detail that made his small works popular.
