The painting depicts two tufted auks among rocks and grass. One bird is standing on the right, while the other is seated on the left. The birds display yellow and red beaks, with dark plumage and lighter feathers on the head. The seated bird is shown in a resting posture. Grasses are seen throughout the scene, and the background complements the birds' features. The style is reminiscent of John James Audubon.
