This is a black and white etching titled 'Que pico de Oro!' (What a golden beak!). The scene is dramatically lit, with stark contrasts between light and shadow. A group of roughly eight people are gathered around a table, their faces contorted in expressions of fear, shock, and bewilderment. They are looking upwards towards an owl perched on top of a large, ornate wooden table. The people are depicted with rough, expressive lines, emphasizing their gaunt features and exaggerated expressions. Some of them appear to be wearing masks, adding to the unsettling atmosphere. The owl is rendered with more detail, its feathers and eyes clearly defined. The background is almost entirely black, creating a sense of claustrophobia and mystery. The light source seems to be coming from above, illuminating the faces of the people and the owl, while casting deep shadows around them. The overall impression is one of darkness, fear, and the grotesque.
