This is a painting of two birds perched among branches with green leaves and clusters of berries. One bird has its beak open, while the other is inspecting the berries. The branches have green leaves with a few dried ones. The berries are dark, some turning red. The birds and leaves are intricately detailed, resembling the style of John James Audubon.
