This is a drawing of two geese in flight. The drawing features two geese with their wings extended, as they glide through the air. Their elongated necks and pointed beaks are depicted with fine line work. The details in the feathers are carefully illustrated with delicate cross-hatching. The background is a plain, soft color. Below the geese, there is an inscription that reads: "MERRY CHRISTMAS from HELEN and DICK BISHOP '52."
