The picture shows a study of a parrot and small sketches of parrots and a praying mantis. On the verso of the sheet studies of a parrot and other birds can be seen.
Drawings by Giovanni da Udine are rare. Most of the surviving examples, generally assigned to his tenure in Raphael's workshop (c. 1515-20) and its aftermath in Rome, represent birds, animals, and still-life details, the types of subject matter in which he specialised.
