This is a vintage black and white illustration with delicate linework. The central image features a bird with large wings, its head resembling a human face. The bird is perched above a rectangular portrait of a woman with curled hair and a delicate necklace. Below the portrait is a lush arrangement of hydrangeas and leaves. Several bees are buzzing around the flowers and the portrait. The bird is adorned with a small medal on its chest. The illustration is labeled 'Hortensia Couronne Impériale' at the bottom. The style is reminiscent of 19th-century botanical or allegorical illustrations.
