A vertically oriented watercolor and ink drawing on cream paper depicts ten anemone flowers framed by nested red borders. In the upper left, a round, speckled bud faces forward. Several pink and red blossoms with dark or green textured centers fill the center, some with green stems and lobed leaves. A large pink flower curves outward in the lower right. The delicate blooms are rendered with soft washes and fine, detailed lines.
