This is a drawing of a rooster weather vane. The image depicts a detailed and realistic illustration of a rooster in profile, facing left. The rooster has intricate feather details covering its body and tail. The tail is large with long feathers. The drawing shows the rooster's comb, plumage, and texture with fine lines and shading, giving a three-dimensional appearance. The medium seems to be graphite or similar, with monochrome shading and precise line work on a light background. There is a subtle signature or mark in the lower part of the image.
