Two young swallows are held in a pair of human hands. The swallow on the left is larger and appears to be perched on the palm, with its head turned to the left. Its back is black, and its underside is white and speckled with black. Its wings are folded, and its tail is fanned out. The swallow on the right is smaller and curled up on the palm, with its head tucked in. It also has black and white plumage. The hands are cupped to gently hold the birds. In the background, out of focus, is a green, leafy area and a cream-colored surface with a metallic object attached to it. The scene is lit by natural sunlight. The location in Dörverden, Germany is not discernible from the image.
