About this work

This watercolor painting features a collection of dead birds, arranged in a vertical column in the center. The birds are depicted in various shades of brown, with some displaying blue feathers on their wings. At the bottom of the painting, several more birds lie on a flat surface, accompanied by a few insects. The background of the painting is a plain white, with a subtle shadow cast by the central column of birds. In the top-left corner, a spider web is visible, complete with a spider and several flies caught in its threads.
