The painting depicts a landscape with a green hill on a gold background. The hill is curved and takes up most of the image, being green with some darker green and brown shading. The hill has a few small plants on it and a brown pole standing vertically. There are two small red flowers near the bottom-left of the hill. The background of the painting behind the hill is gold and textured. The gold background also surrounds the hill in a border. The painting has a thin brown border around the edge. The style is traditional Japanese. The title of the painting is "Flowers on Grass" by artist Shibata Zeshin.
