A watercolor and ink drawing depicts a central bird facing left within two nested red rectangular borders. The bird features a gray head with a red eye ring and a pink breast above patterned brown wings and a charcoal tail. It stands on red scaly feet atop a green mound next to a small brown twig. The composition is framed by rigid borders against an off-white vellum background.
