A white egret leans its long beak towards the water, among the round leaves of the water lilies. Fine plants cross the foreground; above, black branches pass in front of a copper-coloured celestial body.

The greens, muted pinks and greys of the background create the light of late afternoon. The curve of the back and the bird's gesture give this encounter an intimate, almost familiar character.

The celestial body with its orange hues reprises the copper leaf of the original. The print features a printed reproduction of it, above the greens and pinks of the water.
