A humorous scene with three friends - a kangaroo, a giraffe and a hippopotamus - is presented in a digitally created graphic. The animals are strongly abstracted, reducing their characteristic features to the essentials: The kangaroo appears as a slender body with long legs and an angular head, the giraffe captivates with its long neck with implied spots, and the hippopotamus shows a beefy silhouette with rounded contours.
The colour look of the animals is unconventional and surprising: the kangaroo shines in a rich orange, the giraffe wears a contrasting, deep blue and the hippopotamus shines in full red. These unusual colours stand out clearly against the background, which consists of plain solid colour fields. Each figure has its own colour block as a backdrop - a light yellow tone for the kangaroo, a light blue for the giraffe and a soft orange for the hippo.
The three animals appear to be looking directly out of the picture at the viewer, with slightly wry, amused expressions on their faces, emphasising the humorous character of the scene. The overall composition radiates a cheerful lightness, supported by the harmony between the bright colours and the clear forms.
