The image shows a hand-drawn design of two stylized flowers with a leaf in between them in deep blue. The color palette is primarily shades of blue against a light, slightly textured background. The largest floral elements are centrally positioned, with a circular stamp reading "JACOB CAIRE POUGHKEEPSIE NY" in the upper center. A smaller outline of the floral design in a vase is in the lower left corner.
