This is a painting of an eagle with a scroll inscribed "E PLURIBUS UNUM" perched on rocks. The eagle has its wings fully extended, and is holding a shield, an olive branch, and arrows. The painting is done in the style of John James Audubon. The banner with the phrase "E PLURIBUS UNUM" is scrolled across the eagle. The color palette is warm, with browns and golds dominant. The details of feathers and talons are meticulously rendered.
