A folding-album leaf features two vertical panels framed by a gold-patterned border. The left tan-grounded panel depicts a curving flowering branch with muted pink petals, red centers, and green leaves. On the right, vertical columns of black ink calligraphy in varying thicknesses flow down a white panel. In the lower left of the inscription sit two small square red seals.
