The top left shows a brown weasel poised on a bare tree branch. Below, a white weasel is curled up on a rock, looking directly ahead. To the right, another weasel with a darker coat stands on the same rock. Above them, on a branch with green leaves and red berries, rests a white weasel. The surrounding frame features intertwined branches. The painting has Latin text. The colors are naturalistic, highlighting the textures of fur and foliage with detailed precision.
