A watercolor and ink drawing on vellum depicts botanical specimens within a red rectangular border. In the upper portion, two smooth, dark brown chestnuts sit side-by-side. Below, a prickly green husk sprouts from a stem with serrated leaves. In the lower half, a gnarled brown branch extends diagonally toward the right, bearing large, veined green leaves and two round walnuts against the cream background.
