On the left we have five geese clearly in flight with their wings spread in the air. To the right however, and despite the work's title, we have nine geese still firmly on the ground, perhaps readying themselves to follow their friends. The geese's punchy colour and simple details add to their charm, regardless of their lack of being airborne!
