A book page features a watercolor and ink drawing on cream vellum framed by two concentric red rectangular borders. On our right, a cluster of pale green grapes hosts an orange and black butterfly with open wings. To our left, a dark spider rests within its web between brown vine branches. Below, a blue morning glory flower blooms, its delicate vines twisting against the stark, cream background of the page.
