The color palette consists of earthy tones with a mix of black, light brown, white, and a pop of red on the bird's beak and eye. The bird is oriented horizontally across the center of the image, with its head to the left and its body extending to the right. The background is a plain, off-white color, and the words "ROCCO DANTE NAI/VIGATO" are printed below the bird.
