Unidentified artist

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a painting of flowers on a beige background. The painting shows purple wisteria on the left side, with green leaves and brown branches. The right side features pink, red, and white roses with green leaves and brown stems. There are vertical black Chinese characters on the left side of the painting, accompanied by a red seal. The background of the painting is beige, with a gray border around it. The painting appears to be done on a fabric or silk material, with visible creases. The overall style of the painting suggests it may be a traditional Asian-style artwork.
