A vertically oriented engraving on cream paper depicts a tree peony with a lush pink and white bloom alongside a closed bud. The main flower features layered, frilled petals around a yellow-orange center. Beneath the flowers, dark green leaves with maroon veins branch from a central stem that extends into the lower third. Fine, linear shading defines the plant's form, while a thin rectangular border frames the composition against the off-white paper.
