This is a painting of two Kittiwake Gulls standing on a rocky surface. The style is similar to John James Audubon. The painting features two gulls side by side, with one slightly behind the other. Each bird is detailed, showcasing their distinct plumage. Their bodies are white with grey and blue shades on their wings. The beaks are sharp and dark, with one showing a hint of yellow. The background illustrates a sky with pale blue tones and hints of clouds. The names "Kittiwake Gull" and "Larus Tridactylus" are inscribed at the bottom.
