The painting depicts four men and an animal, with a bird on a man's hand. The scene shows one man sitting cross-legged on a platform, wearing white pants, a white turban with a gold ornament, and a sleeveless pink top. He sits on a red and gold cushion under a red and gold canopy, with a white bird perched on his right hand. To the left of the sitting man, another man wearing a red and gold turban, a white cloth wrapped around his waist, and a patterned cloth draped over his right shoulder, stands with his right hand on the sitting man's platform. On the right side of the sitting man, a third man wearing a red turban and green pants stands with his right hand raised. Behind the standing man on the right, a fourth man in a white outfit stands. In the foreground, a gray and white deer with a string around its snout lies on the ground. The background includes a blue wall and a blue and gold patterned cloth under the sitting man. The image is framed by a gold border.
