Edition not stated but small. Signed and titled in pencil. 

Image size 10 1⁄4 x 11 3⁄4 in. (260 x 299 mm.) Sheet size 131⁄4 x 13 3⁄4 in. (337 x 349 mm.)

A superb, painterly impression, with fresh, vibrant colors, on heavy cream-wove China paper, with full margins (3/4 to 1 1/8 inches) apart from a minor loss at the top right sheet edge, in otherwise excellent condition. The artist has carefully brushed the color onto the block to evoke the delicate texture of the flower petals. Very scarce — Rice produced few impressions of these early floral woodcuts (typically less than 5).
