What is in this image? Describe it as if you were explaining it to someone from the 15th century.

The image before you is a simple drawing reminiscent of a woodcut you might find in manuscripts or printed books of your time. It shows two creatures executed in black ink, with outlines forming their shapes and simple features.To the left and slightly forward, there stands a small bird, possibly a hen of sorts. It has a rounded body, small, stubby feet, and feather details atop its head – akin to a cock''s comb. The bird looks cheerful and has a small, open beak as if caught mid-chirp.Beside this bird, on the right, is a much larger creature with the semblance of a fantastic beast, though it features elements familiar to you. This larger figure leans gently towards the bird, suggesting a friendly disposition between the two. It has long, upright ears, perhaps akin to a hare’s, and a face that might remind one of a gentle domestic cat or a docile woodland creature drawn from Aesop''s fables or bestiary descriptions. Its eyes are wide and its muzzle is adorned with whisker-like lines, with shorter lines crowning its head that might suggest hair or feathers.The larger creature stands upright but hints at a corpulent body, with feet planted firmly. It has a button-like detail on its belly, and if one were to stretch the imagination, it resembles a kindly spirit of the woodland in a fable, ready to offer a moral or a helping hand.The image is pleasing in its simplicity, suggesting a tale or moral lesson, capturing your imagination much as the illustrated margins of your books might.
