The image depicts a woodblock print titled "Bai tou weng" by Kuwagata Keisai, featuring two birds and a tree. The print shows two birds; one perched on a tree trunk on the left side, facing right, and the other on a branch on the right side, facing left. The bird on the left has a white face and belly, with a black back and wings. The bird on the right is predominantly black with a white forehead. The tree trunk is brown with visible texture, extending from the bottom-left corner. A branch with green leaves and yellow fruits extends from the right side. The background of the print is beige, with a thin black border around the edges. There are Japanese characters in the top-right corner. The print appears to be on aged paper with a slight fold down the middle.
