This is a watercolor on paper that contains a portrait of a man looking at a black-throated sparrow from behind a wire screen. The man has a white moustache and wears a red knit cap. A green plant emerges from the man's mouth and becomes a black and white branch. The bird perches on this branch in the foreground at bottom center.
