A vertically oriented watercolor on vellum features two birds in stacked horizontal panels framed by thin red borders. In the upper panel, a bird with a tan body and blue and black wing patch stands on a grassy mound beside a leafy tree. The bottom panel depicts a bird with a red crown, yellow chest, and black and white stripes along its back and tail. Both face left against creamy parchment, bearing faint, ghostly shadows.
