This painting shows a lively scene of birds in a garden. A large white peacock is the main focus, with its feathers spread out and its head down. There are several other birds around it, including pheasants, chickens, and a rooster. In the background, there's a stone wall with a fountain and some plants. The sky is blue with some clouds. The birds seem to be interacting with each other, with some of them pecking at the ground or looking at each other. The white peacock is the most striking bird, with its bright feathers and elegant pose. The other birds are also colorful, with shades of brown, black, and white.
