A large vase holds a bouquet of peonies with leaves draping around the sides and a butterfly hovering above. The image is rendered in a monochrome color palette, focusing on variations of black, white, and gray tones. The vase sits centrally, with peonies fanning out across the upper half of the image, while the butterfly is positioned just above the vase to the right. Petals are scattered across the surface below the flowers.
