This is a drawing of two dogs and a cucumber-like plant within an oval frame. The drawing depicts two distinct dogs, each standing on a patch of grass, one on a small cliff and the other on flat ground. Above them hangs a large cucumber-like plant. In addition to this imagery, there are Latin inscriptions on the upper and lower parts of the drawing. The drawing is detailed, with careful attention given to textures. The layout is orderly, typical of an illustrative botanical or zoological study.
