The artwork depicts a bird and a frog on a tree branch. The bird is positioned on a branch near the top center of the image, facing left and looking down with its head slightly bowed. The bird has a small beak and visible feathers on its body and wings, which are predominantly gray with some white details. The bird's feet grip the branch. Below the bird, several branches extend downward, adorned with leaves and red berries. A frog is sitting on a branch lower down, looking up at the bird; it is white with some darker details. The background of the artwork is a light beige color. Four lines of Japanese characters are written vertically in black ink on the top right side. The artwork has a thin gold border around its edges.
