The image shows two people, a man, and a woman, in a full-body view. The man is standing on the left, holding a hat in one hand and a dead bird by its legs in the other while he stands with one knee slightly bent. The man's face is in profile, with long wavy hair that falls over his shoulders, and he has a faint mustache and beard. He is dressed in a brown vest-like garment over a white shirt with visible cuffs, along with blue trousers knee-tied with red ribbons, and black shoes. A dog is standing beside him, looking up at the bird. The woman, standing on the right, is in partial profile with her hands folded in front of her, wearing a white dress with a hood, which frames her face and covers her hair. Her expression is calm, and her attire features pinkish, wide sleeves. There is a table next to her with a red tablecloth that has a decorative pattern, and there is an object or vessel on top. The background shows a wooden staircase on the left and a darkened area behind the figures.
