A vertically oriented watercolor painting on cream vellum features three tulips. On our left, a tall purple tulip stands beside a yellow bud. To our right, a red tulip with yellow-tipped petals rises. At bottom center, a brown boar walks on a thin strip of ground. A decorative border containing a snake above, a bat and rat on our left, and a hedgehog among flowers below frames the central scene.
