A watercolor and ink drawing on a vellum page depicts a crested white bird with a large, spoon-shaped beak. Facing left, its pale feathers are textured with light gray shading above long, spindly dark legs. Its yellow eye is sharp, and a double red frame surrounds the illustration. On the right, the gold-edged pages of the open book are visible.
