This is a painting of an intricately designed red and white floral pattern set within a rectangular format. The central portion features an ornate flower motif surrounded by detailed foliage. The borders include vertical panels with leaf patterns and diamond shapes, and the bottom section has a fringe detail. In the bottom left corner, the text reads "MEHELL ALPAUGH OCT 1838," and the word "UNION" is repeated on either side within the design.
