This image is a detailed etching or engraving, possibly from an old book, featuring a scene of partridges in their natural habitat. The image depicts four birds, two prominently in the foreground and two slightly behind them, perhaps in a family group. The birds in the foreground seem to be foraging on the ground. In the background, there is tall grass or reeds and a few flying birds, suggesting a lush, open field or meadow. The sky is lightly etched, indicating it might be an overcast day or simply unobtrusive in the composition. At the bottom of the illustration, there are inscriptions that read "Perdix rubra" and "Perdrix rouge," which indicate the red-legged partridge in both Latin and French, respectively. The artist's name, “B. Famen f.”, is inscribed on the bottom right-hand side, indicating they may have been the etcher or engraver. The impression is mounted on a page with a decorative border that peeks out from the edges, adding an aesthetic quality to the presentation of the artwork.
