A witch sits by her cauldron surrounded by wildlife

A witch sits by her cauldron surrounded by wildlife: a raven sit on top of her armchair, an owl perches in the beams, a tortoise and fish (presumably alive no more) dangle from the ceiling, to be used in one of her potions no doubt, and her black cat stands in the foreground, looking timidly out at the viewer.
