About this work

This page holds a small, upside-down watercolor of a dead bird. Its feathers are mostly yellow and gray, with a white face and black markings around its eyes. The bird’s wings are spread slightly, and its head tilts to one side. The date *1759* is written in the corner, and the word *Moskovi* (likely short for Moscow) hints at where this sketch might have been made. The paper looks old and worn, like it’s been kept for a long time. If you like this kind of close-up nature study, look up watercolor.
