This painting shows a young boy with long blonde hair, sitting on the ground in a dark forest. He's dressed in a brown coat with a white ruffled collar and cuffs, and he's holding a bird in his right hand. A dog is standing next to him, and there's a dead bird on the ground nearby. The boy's clothes are fancy, and he looks like he's from a wealthy family. The forest background is dark and mysterious, with some light peeking through the trees.
