There are two little birds / doves perched on the tree limbs ( with flowers that look like Dogwood blooms, on the tree limbs ) by this enduring little person in his elaborate outfit, wearing a jacket and hat. He even is wearing a belt and his shoes have buckles on them, along with bows on either side of his knickers. The colors done are in soft creams, beige, white and gold.
