Detailed Description
A cream-colored panel, likely a painting, features a cluster of light yellow flowers with multiple petals near the top center, emerging from a central stem. These flowers are surrounded by several large, palmate leaves in a muted blue-green hue. To the left of the yellow flowers, a substantial, irregularly shaped rock formation in shades of gray and dark blue-gray occupies the mid-left side of the panel, displaying a textured surface with darker lines. Below the yellow flowers and to the right of the rock, a small, light brown insect with delicate wings is perched on a slender green stem. Towards the bottom of the panel, a dense cluster of light pink flowers with numerous small petals and green centers is depicted, accompanied by several broad, rounded leaves in the same muted blue-green as the upper leaves, along with thin green stems. In the upper right quadrant, black calligraphic text is vertically arranged, reading "生生居" followed by "令". Below this text, a small red square seal is present. Another small red square seal is visible in the lower left corner of the painted area. The central panel is bordered on both sides by a dark purple fabric with a subtle gold pattern, and the top and bottom edges also have a narrow band of gold patterned fabric.
