Three birds stand in a row, each built from a simple egg-shaped body cut diagonally into two flat colours. One is rust and teal, one is red-orange and mustard, and one is dark green and blue. Each has a round white eye with a black pupil, a sharp black beak tilted upward, and two thin black legs.

The flat shapes and small speckled flecks of wear give the picture the look of a mid-century print. The cream background is left open, so the colours and the rhythm of the three figures carry the composition.
