The artwork shows a detailed and vivid depiction of a loon. The bird is positioned side-on and floats serenely on rippling water. Its stark black head and neck contrast strikingly with the intricate black and white patterning on its body. The red eye of the loon stands out distinctly. The reflection in the water adds a touch of realism to the piece. The background features a warm, gradient palette of yellow, orange, and brown hues, evoking a sense of dawn or dusk. The overall composition of the artwork exudes tranquility and a connection to nature.
