A gouache drawing of a yellow parrot with an orange beak perched on a black pot sipping out of a small jug, on the other side of which is a blue tit perched on a terracotta vase. One lizard wraps itself around the back of the terra cotta pot, its head and front feet emerging at the viewer's far left. Another lizard stands with its tail stretched across the front of the black pot.
