The artwork, currently located in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, depicts a detailed study of aquatic plants. The delicate brushstrokes capture the intricate details of the plants' stems, leaves, and flowers, highlighting the artist's keen observation of nature. Hopgood's use of vibrant colors, particularly shades of green, red, and yellow, bring the plant life to life.
