National Gallery of Art

The image depicts four birds - three in water to the right and one on land to the left. The color palette includes muted earth tones such as brown, grey, blue, and green, with hints of orange and red. The single bird stands on the shore with greenery behind it, while the three birds swim in the water. Two branches with round fruits frame the scene at the top.
