A tempera on vellum drawing of a snail at top left and at bottom left an empty snail shell with the opening side up. Depicted at the right is a green and brown lizard viewed from above, with its head facing the top of the page and its body curving in toward the middle of the page, and its tail curling toward the bottom of the page then up to the right such that the tip of tail touches its midsection, forming a near circle around the right hind leg.
