Vertical painting of white and pink multi-petaled flowers, green leaves, red seals, and black text
Detailed Description
A vertical painting on a light brown, textured background depicts two clusters of large, multi-petaled flowers with green foliage. In the upper right quadrant, a cluster of three white flowers with subtle yellow centers is visible. Each flower features numerous ruffled petals, creating a full, rounded form. Below and to the left, a second cluster consists of two larger flowers and one smaller bud. These flowers are predominantly white with distinct light pink edges and centers, also characterized by many ruffled petals. Green stems and broad, lobed leaves with visible veins connect and support the flower clusters, curving upwards from the lower left. The leaves are rendered in various shades of green. In the upper center, a circular red seal with intricate characters is present. On the right side, vertical lines of black text are followed by two square red seals. In the lower left, outside the main painted area, two additional square red seals are stacked vertically.
