This is a painting of two birds by the water with a plant in the background. The painting depicts two Bartram's sandpipers near the edge of a body of water. One bird is flying with wings outstretched, while the other is in a grounded position. Their feathers exhibit a pattern of browns, whites, and blacks. In the background, a green plant with broad leaves and a red bud is visible, rooted in rocky terrain. The water nearby is calm, reflecting hues of blue, and extends toward distant mountains under a soft sky. This painting is in the style of John James Audubon.
