Detailed Description
A vertical painting on a light tan background is framed by a gold-patterned border. A tall, slender plant with white flowers and green leaves dominates the central-right portion of the composition, extending from near the bottom to almost the top. The main stem is light brown, with several large, open white flowers featuring yellow centers blooming along its length. Smaller white buds are visible towards the top. The plant has numerous green leaves, some with distinct lobes, attached to the main stem and smaller branches. To the left of the main plant, a smaller, vine-like plant with reddish-pink, spiky inflorescences and darker green leaves intertwines with the lower foliage of the larger plant. An orange butterfly with dark markings on its wings is depicted in flight, positioned to the left of the main plant's upper flowers. Near the bottom right, a red square seal impression is visible, accompanied by a few vertical lines of black text. The background is a uniform, unadorned light tan color.
