Watercolor and ink on vertically oriented vellum illustrate various cherries and strawberries within nested maroon and gold borders. A thin floral vine climbs the left margin. Clusters of fruit in shades of scarlet, plum, and rose hang from delicate green stems across the cream background. Near the top center, a strawberry plant features jagged leaves and small berries. The berries are rendered with soft gradients to convey a sense of volume.
