The image depicts four pigeons and a small branch with leaves and berries, all set against a plain background within a circular frame. The pigeons exhibit varying shades of grey, blue, and brown with detailed feather textures. A creamy-colored pigeon is perched on a branch extending from the left, adorned with green leaves and orange berries. Below, another pigeon stands on a bare tree branch that stretches across the center. The two remaining pigeons rest on the tiles of a roof in the lower part of the composition. The roof is depicted in warm terracotta tones, providing a complementary contrast to the pigeons' plumage.
