A single rock dove (pigeon), predominantly grey with iridescent green and purple neck plumage, stands on light-colored stone paving in Piedrahíta, Spain. The bird's feet are pinkish-red, and it faces slightly to the viewer's left. In the background, large, rough-hewn stone blocks with dark stains and green moss growth are visible. The ground consists of uneven stone slabs with cracks containing small clumps of green grass. A thin, wet line or stream of water is present across the paving, flowing from the left. A darker stone step or border is in the immediate foreground. Strong shadows indicate direct sunlight from the left.
