The flowers are arranged in a way that creates a sense of movement and energy. In the bottom-left corner, there is a small inscription in Chinese characters. The painting is done on silk, which gives it a smooth and delicate texture. The colors used are muted, with a focus on earthy tones such as brown, beige, and green.
