Detailed Description
A vertical composition on a light brown background features a tall rock formation and two peony flowers. On the right side, a large, dark, craggy rock extends from the top edge almost to the bottom. It is rendered in varying shades of dark grey and black, with textured surfaces suggesting crevices and protrusions. Small, irregular dark markings dot its upper and middle sections. At its base, on the right, is a smaller, dark, rounded rock. On the left side, two large, white, multi-petaled peony flowers with green leaves emerge from the bottom. The upper peony is slightly larger and positioned higher than the lower one. Both flowers feature numerous delicate, overlapping petals, creating a full, rounded appearance. Their stems and broad, lobed leaves are rendered in shades of grey-green, with darker veins visible on some leaves. Two small, dark, irregular rock shapes are on the ground plane in the bottom left. In the upper left corner, a vertical column of black calligraphic text is present, accompanied by two red square seals below it. A smaller, narrower vertical column of black calligraphic text is near the top right edge, with one red square seal below it.
