Detailed Description
A horizontal painting depicts a floral arrangement against a light beige background. On the left, long clusters of purple wisteria flowers hang downwards, interspersed with green leaves and thin vines. The wisteria extends from the top left corner towards the center. On the right side, a collection of peonies in various stages of bloom are visible. These peonies feature shades of pink, red, and white, with prominent green leaves and stems. Some of the pink peonies are large and full, while smaller white and red flowers are also present, appearing to grow from the lower right. The background has subtle vertical striations, suggesting the texture of paper or silk. In the far left margin, a vertical column of black calligraphic text is present, reading: "壬子小春寫於南山間吾與周君喜年". Below this text, a square red seal is visible.
