Thorburn is known for his meticulous attention to detail and realistic portrayal of birds and other animals. This artwork showcases two ptarmigan, a type of grouse that changes its plumage color to camouflage itself in snowy environments, against a muted background of snow and dried vegetation, highlighting Thorburn's mastery in capturing the subtle nuances of natural elements.
