This is a painting of a floral pattern. It features a central flower motif with eight rounded petals filled with deep purple, enclosed in a square design. The flower's core is a lighter shade. The surrounding border is earthy orange against a textured pale background. Encircling these elements is a light green scalloped border. At each corner, a diamond-shaped element accentuates the symmetrical composition. This is in the style of Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
