此幅常玉的‟盆菊與蝶(120號)”為常玉的油畫靜物作品，此幅畫作花盆底部、枝幹部分、花和葉子局部，稍微以書法性金黃色系線條或同色系線條打邊，立體、色澤深淺不一的線條瀟灑十足，並納入山水圖畫的留白概念，整幅畫構圖簡約。此幅畫作以紅色為背景、黃色為桌面，背景的紅色深淺不同，隱約看得出背景下方應有畫過其他畫的痕跡，符合常玉在同一畫布上重複做畫的特性。金黃色的菊花，搭配深淺不同的黃色葉子、莖脈和枝幹，種於藍色打邊的青花瓷花盆中，盆菊上方和側邊，有金黃色、紫黑色的蝴蝶翩翩飛舞，藉由些微色系深淺、陰影，襯托出整體的層次感。此畫是常玉慣用、油畫作畫方式最高境界的平塗法創作，以中國水墨寫意流暢的書法線條，融合西方野獸派的簡潔強烈特色，獨創辨識度高的繪畫風格，此幅局部顏料中即有脫落的毛筆痕跡。常玉性格灑脫，線條力道十足、不重複，即便平塗上色後遮蓋住線條，也不會再重複描線，厚實的平塗色塊搭配中國式的渲染方式，呈現出菊花和葉子的立體感，是常玉畫作的重要特徵。此幅畫作所用之畫布含棉、麻，畫布微厚，為1950年代歐美常用之畫布，畫布後有年代久遠形成的黴斑，以及因年代久遠油畫顏料滲透的痕跡，且畫布已失去韌性、易脆，油畫顏料是常玉慣用以亞麻仁油調色、年代久會有黏性的顏料，而因早期保存環境不佳，讓此幅畫作有部分氧化現象。右下角有繪出的「玉」字圖章，以及羅馬拼音「SANYU」，為常玉油畫常用之落款，此幅為標準、正確之經典常玉畫作。

San Yu's "Chrysanthemums and Butterflies (No. 120)" is an oil painting depicting still life. The artwork portrays the bottom of a flower pot, branches, and details of flowers and leaves. Calligraphic golden lines or lines of the same color are used to outline certain parts, creating a three-dimensional and varied color effect. The painting incorporates the concept of blank space from traditional landscape paintings, presenting a simple composition. The background is in red, with yellow as the tabletop. Different shades of red in the background suggest traces of previous paintings, consistent with San Yu's tendency to paint repeatedly on the same canvas. Golden chrysanthemums, along with varying shades of yellow leaves, veins, and branches, are planted in a blue-bordered porcelain flower pot. Above and on the side of the pot, golden and purplish-black butterflies flutter, creating a sense of depth through subtle variations in color and shading. This painting showcases San Yu's mastery of the flat brushstroke technique, a high-level approach to oil painting. The flowing calligraphic lines, reminiscent of traditional Chinese ink painting, merge with the concise and intense features of Western Fauvism, resulting in a unique and highly recognizable painting style. The artwork displays San Yu's free-spirited personality, with powerful and non-repetitive lines. Even after applying a flat color, he avoids re-drawing the lines, maintaining a distinctive three-dimensional quality to the chrysanthemums and leaves. The canvas used in this artwork contains cotton and linen, typical of canvases used in Europe and America in the 1950s. The canvas shows signs of aging, including mildew stains and traces of oil paint penetration over time. Due to the poor early preservation environment, the canvas has lost its flexibility and has become brittle. San Yu typically used linseed oil for mixing colors, which tends to become sticky over time. As a result, this artwork exhibits some oxidation. In the lower right corner, there is a painted "玉" character seal, as well as the Romanized "SANYU," which are San Yu's commonly used signatures for his oil paintings. This painting is considered a standard and authentic masterpiece by San Yu.
