The image features two botanical elements: a stem with buds and a flower, and a large, lobed leaf. The color palette is monochrome, with a soft, earthy tone against a pale background. The stem with the flower is on the left, while the leaf dominates the right side. The text label identifies the plant as "Lactuca perennis."
