This sketch shows a single bird perched on a rough, textured surface. The bird has a mix of brown and gray feathers, with a slightly lighter belly and a long tail. The background is plain and faded, letting the bird stand out clearly. The painting looks like it was done quickly, with loose, simple strokes. The paper is old and worn, with some writing in the top corner—maybe a name or a note. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more works like it.
