A vertically oriented watercolor and ink drawing on vellum features two stacked rectangular panels framed by thick red borders. The top panel depicts a mottled brown bird with a long, tapered beak on a grassy mound. In the lower panel, a thin, dark brown dog tilts its head upward from a dirt path. Faint animal silhouettes appear in the background of both scenes against the parchment-colored page.
