A vertically oriented watercolor and ink drawing on vellum depicts two faint brown birds within a double-lined reddish-brown border. The birds are arranged vertically; a larger bird faces right, while a smaller bird stands below facing left on a ground plane. Both are rendered with soft, translucent ink strokes. A small number 83 is inscribed in the upper right corner, and gold gilding lines the page's right edge.
