A vertically oriented watercolor painting depicts a naturalistic magnolia blossom centered against an off-white background. Smooth, white petals overlap to form a cup-shaped bloom around a ring of orange-brown stamens. Below, a green stem branches into three dark green leaves: two point toward the top corners, while the largest extends toward the bottom right. Fine, dark lines define the leaf veins over smooth washes of green and white.
