Brief Description
Orange and purple chrysanthemums with black ink calligraphy on a light background
Detailed Description
A rectangular artwork depicts a floral arrangement and calligraphy on a light, textured background. The right two-thirds of the composition are filled with a vertical cluster of chrysanthemums. At the top right, a large, fully open chrysanthemum has numerous petals in shades of light orange and yellow. Below it, a slightly smaller, fully open chrysanthemum has petals in light purple and lavender hues. Further down, a smaller, partially open purple chrysanthemum bud and a very small, tightly closed bud are visible. Dark green stems connect the flowers, accompanied by several broad, lobed leaves in varying shades of green, some with darker veins. The left third of the artwork contains vertical columns of black ink calligraphy. The text reads: 獨坐對秋色 石吟霜二華 業折未應者 一露零亂 不因風 菊譜為尚多 紫次之 月令猶稱黃 壽平 丹青姚魏力. Several red seals are present. Two rectangular seals are stacked vertically in the upper right corner, adjacent to the flowers. In the lower left corner, below the calligraphy, two more rectangular seals are stacked vertically, with a smaller square seal positioned directly above this stack. The background is a uniform light cream or off-white, with a subtle, faint patterned border visible along the top and bottom edges of the artwork.
