An ink and watercolor drawing on vellum depicts a central partridge facing left, a brown bird with a red beak and legs. A white throat patch framed by a black band and a white eye stripe decorate its head. Its body is blue-gray with barred feathers below. The partridge stands on a grassy mound within a double red border featuring a gray geometric pattern on a bound book page.
