Brief Description
A large white peony and a smaller red peony with green leaves against a light background
Detailed Description
Two peony flowers and their foliage are depicted against a plain, light background. A large, fully bloomed white peony occupies the center-right of the image, its numerous petals layered densely to form a full, rounded shape. The center of this white flower contains a cluster of small, dark stamen. To the lower left, a smaller, partially opened red peony appears, its petals a vibrant reddish-orange hue. Both flowers are connected by thin, light green stems that extend upwards from the bottom edge of the image. Surrounding the peonies are several broad, ovate leaves, rendered in varying shades of green, ranging from a muted blue-green to a lighter, more yellowish-green. These leaves are clustered around the base of the white peony and extend leftwards towards the red peony. The background is a uniform, light beige or off-white, with subtle variations in tone that suggest a textured paper surface. In the upper left corner, a vertical column of dark characters is visible, with a square red seal positioned directly below the text.
