This black-and-white drawing depicts an object decorated with two animals and a tree stump. On the right, a dog looks up, seated over a bird lying on the ground. One of the dog's paws rests on a short tree stump that is to the left, behind the bird. The tree stump has a textured appearance. Below the animals and the stump is a small patch of uneven ground. The body of the tree trunk appears hollow.
