A large painting depicting a stylized landscape with blue mountains under a starry night sky, with a river leading to the foreground. In front of the painting, a taxidermy otter stands on its hind legs next to a taxidermy pigeon, both positioned on a platform with scattered rocks and leaves, creating a three-dimensional extension of the scene.
