The painting depicts two men in a room, one standing and the other seated. The standing man is dressed in a black suit and holds a large bird, possibly a vulture or eagle, while the seated man wears a blue coat with a floral shirt and red pants. The room is filled with various objects, including a table, chair, and a large animal skull on the floor. The scene appears to be set in a study or office, with the two men engaged in a conversation or activity involving the bird. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of movement and energy in the scene. This painting is characteristic of the work of Ernest Griset, who was known for his detailed and realistic depictions of everyday life.
