Three snarling dogs - two black and one white - are depicted in an aggressive, dynamic pose against a vivid red background. Above them floats a row of six weathered skulls, creating an ominous atmosphere. The dogs' expressions are fierce and detailed, with bared teeth and intense eyes, capturing a moment of primal fury. The painting style is bold and expressive, with rough brushstrokes and dripping paint effects, particularly visible in the red background and the cream-colored areas. The title "Lupine Coronach" (referencing both wolves and a Scottish funeral song) adds context to this dark, powerful image that combines themes of death and animal ferocity.
