The Top of the Swing-Door by Félix Bracquemond depicts a wooden door with a metal hinge on the right side. Four dead birds are pinned to the door: one on the top left with wings spread, one on the top right with wings spread, one in the middle with wings spread horizontally, and one on the bottom with wings spread downward. A small wooden sign with illegible writing is attached to the bottom center of the door. The door's surface resembles vertical wooden planks. The image is in black and white.
