The illustration features multiple branching stems with several bright yellow and orange composite flowers displaying the characteristic form with numerous ray petals surrounding central disc florets. The flowers are shown in various stages - some fully opened blooms with vibrant yellow-orange petals and prominent centers, and several green buds in different stages of development. The plant displays alternate leaves arranged along the green stems. The leaves are lance-shaped to oblong with slightly serrated edges and prominent venation, rendered in various shades of green. The branching pattern shows the typical growth habit of Calendula, with multiple flower heads terminating the branched stems and buds developing along the length of the stems. A Chinese inscription at the lower left corner reads “xiao jinju 小金菊”, pot marigold. The painting demonstrates the fine brushwork characteristic of Chinese export art from the late 18th or early 19th century, combining traditional Chinese flower-and-bird painting style and Western botanical illustration.
