Description
Two peony blossoms fill the composition against a plain cream background — one deep magenta-red with ruffled petals and a cluster of yellow stamens at its center, the other pale violet-lavender and only partly visible at the upper edge. Serrated green leaves in several shades surround and frame the flowers, with a single stem visible at the base. Woodblock print titled "Peony" by Nishimura Hodo; no date is recorded for this piece.
