The artwork depicts a majestic bird, perched among the curved branches of a tree beneath a deep blue night sky. Its body is rendered in warm earthy tones with visible pencil strokes that give texture and softness to the feathers, while its beak is highlighted with bright yellow and blue, adding a striking focal point. Above the bird, a crescent moon and scattered stars float in the dark sky, creating a calm, slightly magical atmosphere. The contrast between the rich blues of the night and the warm browns of the bird and tree evokes a sense of quiet strength, watchfulness, and connection between nature and the night world.
