Two white owls perch on the bare branches of a broken tree trunk against a dark blue-gray night sky. The lower owl, heavily barred with dark brown, leans forward with its head turned toward the viewer, while the whiter owl above sits on a higher branch looking down. Both have round yellow eyes, and their feathers are drawn with fine lines and soft shading, with a pale cloud edge at the top left.
