The image shows a monochrome depiction of a hunting scene. In the foreground, a feline is portrayed in motion, while another is further into the scene. In the background, there is a fence, and beyond it, three figures appear to be engaged in a hunt. The sky is lightly sketched with minimal clouds, and the horizon is marked by bushes and trees. The trees are on the right side with branches reaching upwards. The artwork features a simple line drawing style with consistent black strokes on a light background.
