This is an illustration of a tulip, depicted in great detail. The tulip has a white base color with striking red or burgundy streaks and details, which are likely meant to represent the variegation caused by the tulip breaking virus, a notable historical phenomenon that caused vivid patterns in the petals. The tulip is shown with a long, slender green stem and several large, green, wavy leaves that spread out and down from the stem. The petals have been meticulously rendered to showcase their texture and patterns. At the bottom of the image, there is some text that appears to say "Wit en root Boode," which may refer to the name of this particular tulip variety in Dutch, translating to "White and red messenger" or similar, reflecting the two main colors of the tulip. The paper of the illustration shows signs of aging, with a slightly yellowed tone and possibly some texture that suggests it could be an older document or artwork. The artwork itself has a classical feel, hinting that it might be from a period when botanical illustrations were both a form of scientific documentation and an art form.
