The antelope are set into an open plain of golden grass with rolling hills in the background turning to a blue sky. The piece shows wonderful art style with excellent detail. The painting is signed in the bottom left-hand corner, reading "Ernest Berke '64". The piece is set into a wood frame with a white border around the art. The piece shows good condition, with some light wear across the frame. The frame measures 15 1/2" wide by 12 1/2" tall with the art measuring 11 1/2" wide by 8 1/2" tall.
