This is an illustration of three dragonflies of different colors and sizes against a plain tan background. The central dragonfly is the largest, with transparent wings and a blue striped body with brown segments. To the left, there is a smaller red dragonfly with veined wings that appear to have some damage. On the right, there is another small yellow dragonfly with similarly damaged wing patterns. The two smaller dragonflies are turned to face the bottom and angled diagonally towards the left and right corners, while the largest dragonfly faces directly upwards. The dragonflies are encircled by a golden border, and the numerals "LIV." are to their right.
