This striking painting depicts four ibis birds against a dark background, their distinctive long beaks and elegant forms creating a dynamic composition. The birds are rendered in bold whites and reds, with vibrant coral and pink accents highlighting their characteristic curved beaks and crests. Their slender legs and graceful poses suggest movement, living up to the "promenade" of the title. The birds appear to be interacting, their necks and bodies creating flowing lines that lead the eye through the composition. Against the deep, almost black background, touches of muted green suggest vegetation or landscape elements near the bottom of the canvas. The loose, expressive brushwork gives the birds a sense of energy and life, while maintaining their recognizable form and dignity.
