Detailed Description
A rectangular painting features a central flowering plant with red blossoms and green leaves, set against a light, sandy-colored background. The plant, positioned slightly to the right of center, has several large, red flowers with visible yellow stamens, and numerous green leaves of varying sizes. It appears to grow from a dark, rocky formation at the bottom right. Two wavy, horizontal bands of blue-green, detailed with darker swirling lines, frame the central scene: one stretches across the top, and another curves along the bottom left. On the far right, vertical columns of black characters are visible, with a square red seal positioned below them. The entire composition is bordered at the very top and bottom by black bands adorned with repeating gold, stylized cloud-like or floral patterns.
