A woodblock print on aged paper features a horizontal arrangement of lotuses with a central vertical crease. A large, open flower with pale, pink-tipped petals dominates the center, while a small bud rests in the lower right. Dark green, splotched leaves and long, speckled stems extend from the lower left. Calligraphy in vertical columns and a small red seal occupy the lower right against the beige background.
