The composition of the work is of two sections. The foreground and the middle ground are depictions of different subjects. The foreground depicts blooming peonies in various colors, which creates a lively and upbeat atmosphere. The middle ground illustrates Arhat sitting on a rock with a incense burner placed next to him. The colors are simple and neat. It displays the tranquility and the relaxed joy of Arhat which is explicitly different from the colorful blossoms in the foreground.
