The image depicts a flower study. The main flower is large and white with a round center containing numerous small black dots. Petals are layered around the center. The stem of the white flower curves upward from the bottom-right corner. Several green leaves are attached along the stem. A smaller red flower with multiple blooms and green leaves on its stem is on the left. The background is a light beige color with darker beige and brown spots scattered throughout. There is a column of black foreign text on the top left and a small red square with a white design underneath.
