The bird, shown in profile, has a soft grey body and a crisp white face, with elegantly marked wings featuring dark striped patterns and white-tipped feathers.

The pigeon stands on a grassy field beneath a softly rendered greyish sky with gentle, drifting clouds, evoking a quiet rural atmosphere.

beautifully presented in an antique victorian wooden frame with a gilt slip, the piece retains a sense of age and authenticity; the frame shows light wear consistent with its history. The reverse is thoughtfully lined with a collage of antique papers, adding a distinctive tactile finish.
