Painting, in opaque watercolour on paper, a roughly symmetrical bunch of flowers has been painted on the off-white ground of the paper. The flowers with accompanying buds comprise two stems of pink, one orange and one mauve single petalled (dianthus), plus a pink carnation at the apex of the group. In addition there is an orange and yellow single marigold and a six-petalled yellow flower with two stems of serrated pinnate leaves which branch out on either side. The detailing is achieved by outlines and loose hatching in darker colour tones or in contrasting pigments (that of the mauve dianthus flower being achieved by red detailing over a blue ground, while the yellow flower has orange detailing over a yellow ground).
The painting has an inner border created by strips of blue-grey paper outlined in black with two additional black lines added to the main ivory-coloured plain border. The paper strips have been cut out in a crude fashion with uneven edges. The main border has buff-coloured strips of paper stuck to its edges with two black lines on the inner sides. The inner edge of the page has a strip of beige-coloured woven textile added as a gutter for the binding.
