The flowers, each radiating from a central point and adorned with finer details and stippling effects, are reminiscent of traditional Chinese textiles and ceramics, reflecting the aesthetic richness and cultural significance of such motifs.Jones's talent in adapting these traditional designs for a Western audience without losing their authenticity and charm is evident in this composition.
