The painting features a lush bouquet of peonies and accompanying blooms, rendered in alluring hues of soft blush, bold magenta, and radiant gold. Zhou’s brushwork is both confident and fluid, creating a tactile texture that brings each flower to life.

Splashes of green foliage and small bursts of warm orange lend contrast and vitality, enhancing the vibrancy of the floral arrangement.
Set against a serene, neutral-toned background, Zhou uses a subtle square window of lighter color to frame the bouquet. This compositional choice creates a captivating visual focus, allowing the florals to appear both grounded and ethereal.
