In the painting, a bird is perched on a branch surrounded by orange flowers and green leaves. Two butterflies are also present, one with blue and black wings and the other with eye-patterned brown wings. The artwork is done in the style of John James Audubon and combines detailed botanical and ornithological elements against a plain background.
