You see a tree with birds, including a macaw and a tom-tit, in this painting. The artist gathered different animals to show off his skills. He's good at drawing textures, like feathers and leaves, in many colors. This painting is similar to work by artists who use glazing, a technique where you apply many thin layers of paint to get a deep color.
