A vertically oriented watercolor drawing on vellum displays three tulips and two violets within a red-lined border. A central red tulip with yellow-edged petals rises from a stem with two green leaves. Above, a pink-white striped tulip sits left, while a yellow-orange one stands right. To the right, purple and white violets bloom. Faint graphite floral outlines drift across the background of the cream-colored page.
