A watercolor drawing of two birds sitting on pots, around which sit two lizards. The bird to the viewer's left is blue and white; it sits on a small earthenware pot with decorative holes in the sides, and drinks from the small red and white jug held in the beak of the yellow parrot to the viewer's right, who sits on a largish black kettle.

In the painting a bearded dark-haired white man wearing a red robe and a purple cloak sits before a table in what is obviously an art studio. There are books open on a shelf and a book prop on a taller table behind him. Before him is a statue of the Madonna and Child, which he seems to be finishing (he holds it with his left hand while he uses a tool with his right to smooth the skirt). At the painting's right, on an easel, is a painting of a Madonna and child. Visible between the statue and the painting on the easel is a cow's head with horns. At top right is a painting of a city. Toward the top middle of this painting is a cloud containing two winged cherubs surveying the scene below; above them, in the middle of the painting's top edge, is the top half of another cherub, gazing down with its wings opened out to either side.
