The painting depicts a still life with dead birds and a basket of oysters. The composition features several dead birds on a brown tiled floor, with one lying on its back with its legs raised and another on its side. A third bird lies on its stomach with its head facing right. Two more birds are positioned near the right edge, one on its back and the other on its stomach. A small bowl sits in front of the birds. A large wicker basket filled with oysters is placed to the right. The background is a dark brown wall.
