This image features a botanical illustration of a green gourd or squash with a bulbous bottom and a narrow, elongated top. The gourd has a textured surface suggesting a thin, veined skin, and it shows a gradient of color from a pale yellow-green at the top to a darker green at the bottom. In the upper-left corner, there's a detailed, realistic representation of a brown and orange butterfly with eye-like patterns on its wings, seemingly airborne near the gourd. On the gourd itself, there's a distinct shadow, giving the illustration a three-dimensional effect. Below the gourd, in a decorative script, is the text "Pubd. as the Act directs by Dr. J. Wilkes" and a scientific name that reads "Cucurbita Lagenaria." At the bottom right corner, the date "April 2" is noted. It seems to be a page from a vintage botanical publication.

The image depicts a watercolor painting of a gourd, butterfly, and a small insect. The gourd is the main focus of the image, with its light green color and long, curved shape. It has a small stem at the top and a flower-like pattern on the bottom. To the left of the gourd is a butterfly with brown wings and white spots. Its wings are spread out, and it appears to be flying towards the gourd. Below the butterfly is a small insect that resembles a beetle or a bug. In the bottom-left corner of the image, there is some text written in an old-fashioned font. The text reads "Blüher Rübig" and "Cucurbita lagenaria." Below this text is another line that reads "April 16." The background of the image is a light beige color, which provides a subtle contrast to the vibrant colors of the gourd and butterfly. Overall, the image appears to be a still life painting of a gourd and a butterfly, with a small insect added for interest. The use of watercolors creates a soft, dreamy effect, and the old-fashioned font adds a touch of nostalgia to the image.
