The roosters appear facing each other, symmetrical and mirrored, which enhances the artwork's balanced and harmonious aesthetic. Above and between them, smaller decorative elements resembling eyes add an enigmatic quality to the tableau.The border of the painting is embellished with floral and geometric designs, lending an ornate frame to the central imagery.
