This is a painting of two spotted animals among tulips. The painting depicts two small, spotted animals standing on a patch of earth. One of the animals is in a crouching position while the other sits upright. Their tails are long and also spotted. The setting includes three tulips of varying colors—pink, red, and orange—each with noticeable green leaves and stems. The background is minimal. The scene is encased within an oval, and Latin text is written above and around it. This is in the style of early natural history illustrations.
