The artwork titled "Winter Cherries" by Ryūryūkyo Shinsai features a beige background with a brown border. The right side displays a vertical column of Japanese text in black ink. A red seal stamp is located on the upper right side. Two clusters of three winter cherries are depicted, each cluster consisting of a green and red fruit with two green leaves attached to thin stems. The bottom cluster appears more faded. A red abstract shape resembling a pitcher or vase is positioned at the bottom left corner. The year "1923" is printed at the bottom center.
