The background of the painting is a light beige color, which helps to highlight the colors of the magpies' feathers. The overall effect is one of elegance and refinement, with the magpies appearing as if they are about to take flight at any moment. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of movement and energy in the painting, drawing the viewer's eye to the magpies.
