The central arrangement is enclosed by several tiers of elaborate borders, including a light blue band with gold scrollwork and a wide outer band featuring a repeating floral pattern in yellow and green on a dark ground. The work is executed in ink, opaque pigments, and gold on paper. It is presented in a light-colored mat within a weathered wood frame featuring a beaded inner rim. The reverse is finished with a hardboard backing and a wire hanging mechanism.
