The painting depicts two starlings on a branch. The dominant starling is black with a white patch on its neck, standing on a branch with one leg. Its beak is open. A smaller gray starling with a white belly and dark tail and wings is flying away from the branch to the left. The branch has sparse leaves. The background of the painting is light brown. There are additional leaves and branches around the perimeter. A red seal is in the bottom left corner, accompanied by some black Japanese characters.
