Four small birds are perched on the branch, facing right. The bird at the end of the line has a green head, white breast and black tail feathers. The next bird has a yellow patch on its chest. The third bird has a green head. The fourth bird is mostly obscured by a leaf. The background of the painting is a light beige color.
