Pink peonies, white and yellow chrysanthemums, green plants, and rocks on a light background
Detailed Description
This vertical painting on a light beige ground depicts a dense arrangement of various plants and rocks. The artwork is framed by a patterned border. In the upper left, a vertical column of black characters is visible, reading "松柏竹菊蘭", followed by a red square seal. Below this text, a large cluster of pink peonies with numerous petals and dark green leaves occupies the upper-central portion. To the right and slightly below the peonies, a tall cluster of white and yellow chrysanthemums with lighter green foliage extends downwards. Scattered among the chrysanthemums and other plants are small clusters of red berries. In the mid-ground, several grey and brown rocks with textured surfaces are depicted. Various green plants, including some with long, slender leaves and others resembling bamboo, grow around and behind these rocks. White flowers, possibly narcissus, with delicate petals and yellow centers, are visible among the green foliage in the lower-center. The ground beneath the plants and rocks is a light, earthy color, with subtle variations in tone. The lower two-thirds of the vertical composition are filled with this botanical and rocky scene, while the upper third is mostly open, light beige space.
