This is a painting of two birds by water. One bird is on the water and another is on land among foliage. In the foreground, there is a depiction of a Great Northern Diver, also known as a Loon. The bird on the right is positioned on land among tall stalks of grass, showcasing white and black speckled plumage and a vibrant blue-green head. The bird on the left is afloat on water with a sleek, grey and white body. Both birds have a sleek and elegant presence. Behind them, a body of water extends towards a distant mountainous landscape under a clear sky. This is in the style of John James Audubon.
