This is a painting featuring two razorbill birds floating on the water near a rocky coastline. The painting depicts two birds with black feathers on their heads, backs, and tails, and white underbellies. One bird has its beak open, displaying its bright yellow interior, while the other bird appears calm. The setting includes a body of teal water with gentle waves, and in the background, there is a jagged rocky landscape under a pale sky. The text at the bottom of the painting indicates the artist's name, as well as the bird species' name. This is in the style of John James Audubon.
