Anemones with a Snail, folio 30 (recto), from Florilegium (A Book of Flower Studies)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows an open book with a drawing of flowers and a snail on the page. The page is rectangular and off-white, with a thin red border around the edge and a thicker red border around the image. The image contains five flowers in various shades of red, pink, and white, with green stems and leaves. A gray snail is positioned near the bottom center of the image. The flowers have multiple petals, with the top two being red and the bottom three being pink, white, and pink. The background of the image is off-white, with some faint gray markings. The book is open to reveal the page on the right side, which is yellowed and has a rough texture. The book appears to be old and worn, with a dark brown cover visible on the right side. The background behind the book is plain and light gray.
