A vertically oriented watercolor and ink drawing on vellum depicts three prominent tulips within a rectangular border. At top left sits a yellow tulip with red streaks beside a solid pink bloom. Centered below, a white tulip with red stripes grows from green leaves near a gray bird facing our left. The detailed border features blue bell-shaped flowers, a squirrel, and a prickly porcupine. A spider and orange flowers decorate the bottom edge.
