A vertical, rectangular piece of artwork with a black border featuring gold-colored, curved lines and shapes. The artwork depicts a white rooster standing on top of a curved, black wire mesh fence. The rooster faces right with its head turned slightly towards the viewer, beak open. The rooster's body is mostly white with some black details; black lines indicate feathers on the neck and tail. Behind and below the rooster, a white hen and several smaller, white chicks are visible. The background of the artwork is a light brown color. There are several lines of small, black Japanese characters on the right side. Two red seals are on the top left. The bottom of the artwork features a rope-like line on a beige strip.
