A vertically oriented ink and color painting on tan paper depicts a cluster of chrysanthemums. Large white flowers with thin, arcing petals bloom along the top and left, while smaller, reddish-orange blossoms cluster in the center. Muted gray and green multi-lobed leaves sprout from thin stems rising from the base. Horizontal gray bands mist across the top background. Two red seals and black calligraphy mark the lower right corner.
