Brief Description
A falcon, a crane, and smaller birds flying among white flowers and dark rocks
Detailed Description
A muted, dark brown background features birds in flight. At the top, a large bird, possibly a falcon, with mottled brown and white plumage, is shown in a downward flight path, its wings spread wide. Below it, a prominent white bird, resembling a crane, with a long neck and legs, also descends with its wings extended, its head and long, reddish beak pointing towards the lower right. To the left of the white bird, two smaller, dark-feathered birds fly close together. Dark, jagged rock formations are visible in the lower left and right. Clusters of white flowers with green leaves emerge from stems on the right, extending upwards, and also appear near the rocks on the left. Several other smaller birds, some light-colored and some dark, are depicted flying or perched among these rocks and foliage in the lower section. The birds and flowers are rendered with detailed brushwork, standing out against the dark brown background.
