This is a painting of black-throated divers. It depicts three birds, two in the water and one perched on land. The birds have medium to large bodies with patterned plumage, featuring a black throat. The bird on the left stands on land with white markings on its black wings and a red eye, while the other two birds are in the water, one with its beak open and the other gazing calmly. The background shows a waterbody with distant hills under a soft blue sky.
