A vertically oriented watercolor and ink drawing on vellum features three tulips within a red and gold rectangular border. On the left, a tall tulip with white and magenta petals rises from a rooted bulb. To the right, another red-veined tulip grows similarly. A third, stemless bloom with green and red striped petals sits between them. A decorative scrolling vine embellishes the inner left edge of the composition.
