The image shows a black and white photograph of a sculpture titled "Birds" by Wilhelm Schimmel. The sculpture features two birds perched on a rock, both facing away from each other. The birds have long beaks, and their bodies are covered in dark spots. The rock base is irregularly shaped, with a rough texture and shiny surface. A ruler is placed below the sculpture for scale. The background of the image is plain white. There are two small labels at the bottom of the image, one with the number "170" and the other with text that reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART".
