A vertically oriented watercolor and ink drawing on parchment depicts two botanical studies framed by double red lines. On the left, a tall plant features three vibrant yellow flowers and large, deep-green leaves. To the right, a narrow border displays a thin stalk with small blue bell-shaped flowers terminating in a white root. The page is set within an open book, with the edges of many parchment leaves visible on the right.
