A sculpture of a fox is displayed on a dark rectangular platform surrounded by delicate glasses. The color palette is monochrome, black and white tones. Positioned centrally, the fox sculpture is in the foreground, with the glasses placed in front of it. A mirror with an ornate frame reflects light in the background, and a blurred light source is visible off-center in the background.
