An ink and color painting on silk depicts two light brown rabbits on a grassy slope. To the right, a large weathered rock rises, with two magpies perched on thin, leafless branches above. Several red square seals are stamped along the left and right edges. The composition uses muted tans and browns against a flat, neutral background, emphasizing the soft textures of fur and the sharp needles of dark foliage near the stone.
