A vertically oriented watercolor on cream vellum depicts botanical specimens within double red borders. A large, deep red flower with a textured center anchors the upper right, while a pale pink bloom and drooping bud cluster to the left. A slender pink bud rises on the right. Below, a dark brown stag beetle with large mandibles crawls across the page. Faint, ghostly botanical outlines bleed through the translucent, cream-colored surface.
