Square black-and-white photograph. A small bird is perched on the rim of a shallow metal dish, positioned near the center of the frame. Its feathers are fluffed up, forming a round, soft-looking body with a lighter chest and darker markings around the eyes and beak. The bird鈥檚 thin legs and feet grip the rim, while the background is strongly blurred, showing only indistinct dark shapes and smooth tonal gradients.
