A crown of long, blue-green leaves sits at the top of a tall stem, with a ring of hanging yellow bell-shaped flowers beneath it. Below, a large white flower, a pink flower, a deep red flower with a yellow center and a closed red bud are set among broad dark green leaves. The background is a dark, brownish wash, and the signature is written in white at the lower right.

Pierre Joseph Redouté (1759–1840), the French artist, painted this in watercolor and gouache over graphite on parchment, now mounted on board. It is signed 'P..J. Redoute.' in white at the lower right. The National Gallery of Art, Washington, which holds it, titles it Four Peonies and a Crown Imperial.
