A vertically oriented watercolor and ink drawing on cream vellum features botanical studies within a double red-lined border. On the left, a tall plant rises from a rooted brown bulb, bearing three checkered purple bell-shaped flowers and a large, downward-facing green blossom. To the right, a smaller plant displays a bright yellow flower and a rounded leaf. Slender, blade-like green leaves sweep gracefully across the center of the page.
