Description for blind and low-vision visitors

A horizontal naïve painting on a warm yellow ground framed by rippling pastel lines. At the left a large long-beaked bird with a rounded body shows scalloped green and dark-red crests and soft blue and pink feathers with sprays of orange and yellow tips. At the lower right a fish with a bright red-orange mouth and a patterned body faces it. Fine combed and dotted linework covers both forms, outlined in black.
