About this work
On the top of a door hang three dead birds and a bat with nails hammered through their outstretched wings. Top left hangs a raven, top right a large bird of prey and middle bottom possibly a sparrowhawk or hawk. In the middle hangs the bat. Hanging from a nail with a string is a wooden sign with a French verse in four lines Ici tu vois ... voler sont deux.
