Chrysanthemum, Begonia, and Blue Asters
Chrysanthemums and a flowering begonia rise beside blue-grey rocks, drawn in fine black outlines with pale washes of ochre, pink and blue. Large leaves at lower left and small asters along the bottom edge frame the composition, with ink calligraphy at upper right.
Look closer: Ink calligraphy inscription in the upper right corner beside the flowers.
