Three partridges are depicted in profile. They stand on ground that is scattered with patches of grass. In the background are faint impressions of mountains. The two larger partridges on the left contain blue, dark red, brown, and white feathers on their body. Their stomachs mimic a striped pattern in black and white. Two long feathers grow from the partridges' heads and drape backwards nearly touching their backs. The third partridge on the right contains a brown feathered topside and an underside mixed with brown and white feathers. Two short black feathers grow outwards from the partridge's head.
Three-quarter-length portrait of an elderly woman seated in a painted chair (the chair's ear is visible at far left) before a wall with a red curtain drawn to reveal a window, at right, through which can be seen a sunset painted in peach pink hues. The woman—who gazes directly at the viewer—wears a black dress with white trimmed sleeves, full-length black gloves, and a diaphanous white linen cap and kerchief. Her right arm rests on a large family Bible. She hold holds a pair of spectacles in her right hand, suggesting that she has just been reading the Scripture.
