The image displays a large stuffed rabbit with feathered wings at the center, surrounded by taxidermy fish. One fish is positioned vertically and another horizontally below the rabbit. The color palette includes natural tones like browns, whites, and tans, along with vibrant red paper cutouts in the background. In the foreground, a wooden human mannequin stands to the left, and a checkered pattern fabric hangs behind the rabbit.
