This drawing depicts an owl, who is staring directly at the viewer. The owl’s wings are folded into the front of its body, and its tail feathers are pointing down. There are feathers fanned our around the owl, from the sides of its tail, all the way around it until the very top of its head where the feathers break and there is blank space. The owl feathers and wings are lined and tipped with black. The owls head and body feathers are drawn in an almost fish net pattern. The fanned out feathers are detailed with orange, close to the owl’s body. The owl’s beak and sclera's are yellow, the irises are green. The top half of the owl's folded wings and the base of their head are coloured in mint green.
