The image is an illustration from an old book, depicting two birds in a rural landscape. On the left, one bird is perched on a grassy mound next to a flowering plant, possibly a species of rose due to the multiple blooms on the branches. This bird is labeled "Pica glandaria," which is likely an antiquated term for a bird, possibly a magpie or jay, that would feed on acorns or nuts ("glandaria" suggesting an association with acorns or oak trees). On the right, another bird stands on a tree branch extending over a scenic backdrop. It is labeled "Anaruitits," which is not immediately recognizable as a modern scientific name. This bird is more sleek in appearance, with darker plumage around the neck and a distinguished beak. Between the birds, in the middle distance, is a pastoral scene with a village or estate featuring buildings with prominent chimneys, a bridge spanning a river, trees, and a range of hills or low mountains in the background. The sky above this scene is calm, with horizontal striations perhaps indicating clouds or the texture of the sky. In the bottom left corner, the engraving reads, "Adrian Collaert fecit et excud," suggesting that Adrian Collaert is the artist who created and printed (excudit) the image. Overall, the imagery evokes the scientific and artistic pursuits of natural history in earlier centuries, combining detailed study of birds with an idyllic depiction of the natural world.
