This is a painting of two Slender-billed Guillemots standing on a rocky cliff. The birds are perched on a greenish-brown rocky surface overlooking a vast expanse of blue sea under a sky filled with clouds. The bird on the left has dark brown plumage with light brown patterning on its body, while the bird on the right is black and white. The setting showcases a coastal environment.
