This image features a spread from what appears to be an illustrated manuscript or art book. The main focus of the image is a large bird depicted across two pages, rendered in fine detail with a blend of realistic and stylistic touches. This bird resembles a cassowary, indicated by its dark plumage, blue neck, and large size. The cassowary has blue and red coloring on its neck, a distinctive casque on its head, and it occupies the right and center of the picture, suggesting it is of significant importance. Its body is mainly black with a blend of greys at the edges to hint at its feathery texture, and both its legs and impressive claws are detailed, crossing the centerfold. On the left page, separate from the large bird, are two smaller birds illustrated in a similar style. The bird directly below the cassowary is white with some grey spots and green colorations by its wings, with curious red legs. Above and slightly to the right is a bird in flight, shown with outspread wings that emphasize the patterning of its feathers. The background is a simple parchment or paper color with no additional detail, ensuring the focus remains on the beautifully illustrated birds. There are also small inscriptions, possibly signatures or annotations, near each bird, written in characters that may signify the artist's mark or comments relating to each bird.
