The image depicts a black and white painting of a fox catching a bird. The fox is in mid-air, its body arched as it pounces on the bird. The fox's head is turned to face the viewer, with its mouth open and teeth visible. The bird is on the ground, with its wings spread out and its head turned to face the viewer. The background of the painting features various plants and trees, including bamboo and flowering branches. The overall color palette is monochromatic, with shades of gray and black used to create depth and contrast. A red seal or stamp is visible in the top-right corner of the painting, and some Japanese characters are written vertically along the right edge. The painting has a gold border around the edges.
