First Fleet artwork collection

Bird seen in frontal view, its body turned slightly to the right and its head in profile to the left. It is depicted perched on a branch which extends from a tree stump set on a grey-green base, against a plain background. The bird's head is black with a white chin and a grey stripe above the eye. The breast is red and the wing is dark brown with some white patches, heavily overlaid with black hatched lines. The drawing is framed by a pencil border and annotated in ink and pencil.
