A line drawing study of iris flowers on rectangular yellow tracing paper, a few flowers accented with purple, white, and green watercolor. The flowers are drawn with meticulous detail, depicting curving, frilled petals. At left, two purple and white irises, colored in washes of watercolor, bloom atop a green stem growing up from the bottom edge of the page. The pale purple central petals rise up, flanking darker purple petals curving down. To the right and slightly lower is a line drawing of two iris flowers on a stem, with pencil underdrawing. An 'A' in a circle, handwritten in pencil between the flowers, refers to a handwritten note at the bottom of the page, which appears to read, following another encircled 'A': 'lower petal held up by stalk flower in background'. At center, on a long stem, are two purple and white irises stacked atop each other, with a purple and green bud tucked between them. The top flower has deep plum-colored lower petals; the bottom flower has brighter lavender-colored lower petals. Both are highlighted with white along the upper petals and stem. At right, two views of iris flowers, line drawn with pencil shadings, the left slightly higher and angled right. The right has another handwritten circled 'A' nestled against the flowers. Both irises have a spot of orangey-brown watercolor wash suggesting the papery casings of the buds, and slight white highlights. 'No. 13' is handwritten at top center right; 'S.L. Crownfield' is signed twice, at bottom center and bottom right corner. '37' is written in pencil in the bottom right corner, above the signature.
