A vertically oriented watercolor and ink drawing on cream paper depicts a Turks cap lily centered within two red rectangular borders. A thick green stalk with overlapping leaves supports two orange flowers with petals recurving sharply to expose long stamens. Between them, a single green and orange bud stands upright. The drawing sits on a page within a bound volume, with the book's spine and multiple pages visible on the left.
