A vertically oriented watercolor and ink drawing on vellum features three prominent tulips with bulbs against a cream ground. To our left is a white tulip; at center, a striped orange tulip droops; and to our right, a red tulip rises from a yellow base. A black dog and snail rest at the bottom. The ornate border contains hybrid creatures, purple plums, and peach fruit, topped by a blue zigzag line.
