Black and white sketch of an eagle. The eagle faces left, its body angled slightly right. The head, neck and upper body are light with dark shading. The wings and tail are dark with lighter shading near the body. The eagle has a sharp, curved beak, and its talons are visible. Three small, indistinct marks are to the left of the bird. The background is a light gray color with darker speckles. The sketch appears to be done on a piece of paper with a rough edge.
