A vertically oriented watercolor and ink drawing on vellum depicts a red cabbage cross-section with dense, wavy purple and white patterns. Along the top edge, a brown caterpillar crawls. To our lower left stands a dark brown horned beetle; to our right, a textured green leaf rests against the white base. A geometric border of gray and white three-dimensional cubes frames the composition.
