General
Fine tracing on tissue. This drawing does not relate to either of the plates cited, by Richter and Hart respectively. The almost mirror symmetry of the two birds (offering no more detail than a single figure would), with 2 bright red or yellow berries on the deep green of a spray of yew, perhaps suggests a decorative rather than scientific use for this drawing.
