The rooster's body comprises a few smooth, flat planes, with minimal detailing to suggest the feathers, comb, and wattles. The legs and feet are executed in a bold red color, contrasting with the rest of the figure. The painting has an abstract quality, focusing more on form and shape rather than realistic representation.
