Well finished layout painting; male figure painted over in a very rough, almost formless manner, leaving only the tips of the tail and a leg in the fine style; a smaller bird roughly sketched into the background, perhaps anticipating the position of the hen in the published plate; the published image is completely different from the drawing; at foot of sheet: pencil notes on names. Artist's name(s): Gould, John; Hart, William Matthew. Changes and the added sketch appear to be by Gould.
