A vertically oriented watercolor and ink painting on cream vellum depicts a title page with a central coat of arms. At top center, a winged child holds two frames. Flanking the center, a blue iris and easel stand on our left, while a yellow flower and gardening tools occupy our right. A brown rabbit crouches at the bottom center between trailing blue and purple blossoms, positioned below black ink script.
