A horizontally oriented ink and color fan painting is mounted against a green and tan speckled background. On the cream-colored fan, clusters of white and yellow chrysanthemums with earthy leaves bloom from the bottom and left. To the right, a deep blue section contains dark, curving lines. On the far left, vertical Japanese calligraphy and a red seal mark the surface. Fine, stippled dots create a textured border around the fan.
