In contrast to Lot 34, this artwork by Aoudla Pudlat presents a bird with an open and serene attitude rather than a defensive one. The bird's upright posture, with its head lifted gracefully, suggests confidence and calmness. Its wings, adorned with soft greens and light reds that create a delicate texture, are unfurled but not spread in a way that implies protection or aggression. Instead, they flow outward in gentle curves, enhancing the sense of peace and composure radiating from the bird.

Atop the bird's head, delicate, curved extensions resembling soft blue plumes or tendrils flow gracefully outward, lending an ethereal quality. The neck extends proudly sky-ward and the upward-pointing beak adds to the bird's openness and ease, as if it is at rest or quietly observing its surroundings. Beneath the bird, a nest of eggs introduces an element of nurturing and care.  This bird exudes a quiet dignity, with its poised stance and serene expression underscored by the flowing, delicate application of coloured pencil.
