The painting depicts two sharp-tailed grouses in a natural setting. The birds have brown and white patterns on their feathers, and are standing in a grassy plain with hills in the background under a clear blue sky. Small plant life with colorful berries is visible in the foreground. The style is reminiscent of John James Audubon.
