Brief Description
Large red camellia flower, green leaves, and buds on a thorny branch, on a tan background
Detailed Description
A botanical depiction is set against a light tan, rounded rectangular background. A single branch of a camellia plant extends diagonally across the composition, extending from the lower left and reaching towards the upper right. A large, fully bloomed red camellia flower is situated in the upper central portion of the image. This flower displays numerous layered petals, creating a full, rounded form. Below and to the left of the large flower, the branch is adorned with several dark green leaves. These leaves are oval with pointed tips and show subtle variations in shading, suggesting depth. Further along the branch, towards the lower left, a smaller, partially opened red camellia bud is visible, encased by green sepals and surrounded by additional green leaves. Another smaller, tightly closed bud appears further to the right on the branch. The branch itself is brown, with a slightly textured appearance, and small, sharp thorns are visible along its length, particularly towards the lower right. In the bottom left corner of the tan background, a small, square red seal with dark characters is present. The plant is depicted with a clear, detailed style against a plain, unadorned background.
