A vertically oriented watercolor and ink drawing on vellum depicts two brown walnuts at the top. The walnut on our left is a large oval, while the one on our right is smaller and rounded; fine lines define their textured shells. Below, a faint, translucent image of a leafy branch ghosts through the cream-colored page. A double red rectangular border frames the scene, highlighting the delicate arrangement.
