Audubon is known for detailed paintings of which subject as part of his study?

• A. Astronomy
• B. Birds
• C. Structures
• D. Marine life

Answer: (B)

Observational study of nature through precise, detailed artwork. Audubon’s work fuses art and science by painting birds life-sized with careful attention to plumage, form, and behavior, turning his images into scientific records that helped identify and compare species. This focus on avian life is why the subject he is known for painting is birds, culminating in his famous Birds of America. The other topics—astronomy, structures, or marine life—don’t fit because his renowned contributions center on documenting birds.
