Two roosters confronting each other on light brown ground with sparse plants
Detailed Description
Two roosters are depicted in a confrontation on a light brown ground. The rooster on the left is positioned lower, leaning forward with its head close to the ground, facing right. Its plumage is a mix of dark brown, reddish-brown, and black, with some white feathers on its wings and tail. Its comb and wattle are red, and its legs are pale yellow with sharp claws. The rooster on the right stands more upright, also leaning forward, facing left, with its wings slightly spread and tail feathers fanned out. Its feathers are a similar palette of reddish-brown, dark brown, black, and white, with a prominent white patch on its tail. Its comb and wattle are also red, and its legs are pale yellow. Both roosters have their beaks open, appearing to crow or challenge each other. The ground beneath them is a uniform light brown, with a few sparse green plants and thin, dark brown branches visible in the upper right portion of the scene. In the lower right corner, there is a vertical column of dark characters and a red square seal.
