A vertically oriented drawing on a vellum page features two concentric reddish-brown rectangular borders. Inside, the off-white surface displays faint, translucent gray shapes: an elongated, curved mark in the upper left and a small seated animal silhouette in the bottom left. The right edge shows the gathered pages and dark brown binding of the bound volume.
