Tulips, Moth, and Goat with Hybrid Creature Border, folio 7 (recto), from Florilegium (A Book of Flower Studies)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts an open book with a colorful illustration on the page. The illustration is surrounded by a thin red border and a thicker decorative border featuring green vines and leaves. Inside the red border, there are three tulips of different colors: one yellow and red, one pink, and one red and green. Each tulip has a long green stem and leaves. A small gray goat-like animal with curved horns is positioned below the tulips. A white moth with black details is above the pink tulip. On the right side of the red border, there is a vertical strip of illustrations, including a blue flowered plant, a creature with a human head and wings and a snake body, and another blue flowered plant. At the bottom of the red border, there are three creatures: two with green wings and tails and one with red wings and a long dress. The background of the illustration is off-white, and the book page has a slight yellow tint.
