This is a drawing of two stylized birds in flight, each carrying a branch. The image shows two separate depictions of birds, one above the other. Both birds have large, outspread wings, and their bodies are rendered in shades of brown and gold. The top drawing features a bird with golden tinges to its wings and tail. The lower drawing presents a more complete image of a similarly styled bird, clutching a branch with leaves. The background is a plain, off-white surface.
