A vertically oriented watercolor and ink painting on vellum depicts botanical studies within a rectangular border. Three orange lilies with curved petals and protruding stamens occupy the left and center. Above, a large red anemone with a white center hosts a striped caterpillar and a red-and-black butterfly. A smaller floral border at the bottom includes blue star-shaped flowers and green leaves, the entire arrangement set against a plain cream-colored background.
