Brief Description
Large light peony, green leaves, and a red seal with characters on a dark wooden panel
Detailed Description
A rectangular wooden panel is oriented horizontally, with a dark brown, textured surface showing visible wood grain and some signs of wear. A large, light yellow or cream-colored flower dominates the center-right, depicted with numerous overlapping petals that give it a full, rounded appearance. The petals have a slightly textured, almost raised quality. Several green leaves and stems extend from the upper left, surrounding the main flower. The leaves are broad and lobed, rendered in a muted green with some lighter highlights. To the upper left of the main flower, a smaller cluster of green leaves and a bud-like form with a small, bright red accent are visible. The stems are thin and dark green, connecting the various floral elements. In the upper right corner, a small, square red seal is present, positioned above a vertical line of dark, stylized characters. The floral elements are arranged diagonally across the panel, with the large flower positioned as a central element against the dark wood background. The edges of the panel appear slightly worn.
