A vertically oriented watercolor and ink drawing on vellum features two tall tulips rising from bulbs. On our left, a pink and white striped tulip towers over a snail with a patterned shell. To our right, an orange and yellow tulip and bud stand beside a green caterpillar. A faint gray dog sits at the base. A decorative floral border frames the scene, featuring a bottom panel where a dog chases a hare.
