A vertically oriented watercolor on vellum features two carnations side-by-side. To the left, a ruffled red flower crowns a slender stem; to the right, a yellow flower leans outward. Both stems join at a cluster of long, spear-like green leaves. A reddish-brown border and green interlaced pattern on the left frame the scene. Faint floral outlines appear in the background of the antique book page.
