This beautifully painted watercolor depicts a Canada goose standing atop a modernist chair with the natural collection of brambles and branches to create what might become a nest. Books and notebooks are strewn around the base of the chair and the goose has torn a page from an open book, while smaller birds pool a thread throughout the scene and bees fly around.
