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

What you are seeing is a drawing, akin to a tapestry design, but without color—created not with needle and thread, but drawn upon parchment with ink. The subject is a bird, its plumage detailed meticulously, perched amidst a thicket of varied leaves and blossoms. The bird seems noble, almost regal, with each feather and eye rendered with great care to show its elegance and delicate nature. The foliage surrounding the bird includes various types of leaves and some clusters of berries, symmetrical and balanced in their placement, adding to the composition''s natural beauty.This style of drawing serves as a template, perhaps, that a painter or a craftsman might use to replicate the image using color on frescoes, manuscripts, or stained glass, giving life to the outlines presently only suggested in black and white.
