At the left of this outdoor still life, some purple-headed thistles grow at the foot of a tree trunk. A number of dead birds, including some finches and a snipe, hand from a branch of the tree. Two game bags hang beside them and a shotgun is resting against the tree below. On the ground are a dead wood pigeon, with traces of blood oozing from its beak, a goldfinch and a bullfinch. Beside them is a falcon's hood and a powder flask. The still life is set against a landscape at dusk and pink-hued clouds can be seen in the sky.
