"Cockatoo Crested Crane and Scarlet Ibis" is a painting by the British artist Henry Stacy Marks (1829–1898), known for his work as a painter and illustrator with a particular focus on ornithological subjects. Marks, a member of the Royal Academy, often combined his artistic talent with his interest in birds, resulting in detailed and vivid representations of various avian species.

The painting itself features a visually engaging composition of three distinct bird species, each known for their striking plumage and unique characteristics. The cockatoo, with its prominent crest and white feathers, is often associated with playfulness and intelligence. The crested crane, likely a reference to the Grey crowned crane, is distinguished by its elegant plumage and the distinctive golden crest atop its head. Lastly, the scarlet ibis, instantly recognizable by its vibrant red coloration, adds a splash of intense color to the canvas.

Marks's work is characterized by a meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to capturing the essence of his avian subjects. His paintings not only showcase the beauty of the birds but also reflect the Victorian fascination with natural history and the exotic. "Cockatoo Crested Crane and Scarlet Ibis" exemplifies Marks's skill in rendering the textures of feathers and the nuances of color, making it a fine example of his ornithological art.

The painting is emblematic of the period's artistic movement that sought to depict nature with scientific accuracy while still appealing to the aesthetic sensibilities of the viewer. As such, it would have appealed to both art connoisseurs and naturalists of the time. Today, the work stands as a testament to Marks's contribution to the genre of bird painting and to the broader 19th-century art scene, which increasingly valued the intersection of art and the natural world.

While the painting is an important piece within Marks's oeuvre, information about its current location, provenance, and critical reception is limited. As a result, the painting's significance is primarily derived from its association with Marks's reputation as a notable artist of his time and its representation of his artistic interests and capabilities.
