A vertically oriented watercolor depicts a single dahlia blossom against a cream background. Layers of pointed, coral-pink petals radiate from a yellow-orange stippled center at the top. Below, a dark green stem descends, branching into four large, serrated leaves shaded with mottled blue-green tones. The stem curves gently toward the bottom right, while soft, blended washes give the botanical illustration a textured, stenciled appearance.
