A vertically oriented watercolor on vellum depicts a botanical study of faint pink flowers on green stems. Double red-ink borders frame the central composition, while a scrolling vine border in dark ink runs along the right edge. The images appear translucent against the cream-colored page, which exhibits slight rippling and aging. To the left, the stacked, golden-edged pages of the bound book are visible in profile.
