Gouache and graphite on vertically oriented paper outline a symmetrical ornamental design. Two blue birds with sweeping green tail feathers perch on organic branches, flanking a central, framed butterfly. Red roses and yellow blooms crown the upper border. Below, an orange-brown rectangle is enclosed by a network of intricate, curving shapes in green and gray tones, set against a dark blue backdrop. The bottom displays gold-flecked motifs and a dated signature.
