Two birds are depicted standing on a grassy patch by a body of water. One bird is leaning forward with its neck bent, while the other stands upright with sleek feathers pointed towards the water. Both birds have large webbed feet, and their plumage displays a mix of dark and light tones, with one bird featuring a red neck. The background shows a tranquil body of water bordered by cliffs, trees, and a partly cloudy sky in a style reminiscent of John James Audubon.
