A circular painting shows a branch with green leaves and reddish-orange flowers on a brown ground
Detailed Description
The artwork presents a circular painting centered on a rectangular, patterned background. The circular painting features a single branch with green leaves and clusters of reddish-orange flowers, set against a solid, muted brown ground. The branch begins in the lower right quadrant, extending upwards and curving towards the left. It bears several clusters of small, star-shaped flowers, predominantly in shades of reddish-orange with subtle lighter pinkish-yellow accents. The leaves are a muted green, varying in size and shape, with some appearing broad and rounded, while others are more slender. They are arranged along the branch, often overlapping. A faint red square seal is visible in the lower left quadrant of the circular painting. In the lower right, near the edge, a faint vertical inscription in dark ink is present. The rectangular background surrounding the circular painting is a light beige or cream color, adorned with a repeating, intricate pattern of swirling, abstract motifs.
