Composition in gray, black, red, yellow and green tones. Vase of flowers occupying almost the entire support area against background in "degradé" shades of gray. Vase of oval-shaped porcelain or earthenware, blue, with small dots in dark blue. Flowers and daisies suggest monsignori; two white and two yellow, blending together. Other flowers in shades of red with folliage, apparently ferns, complete the bouquet. The vase is resting on area in earthy tone, and in are small yellow dots, suggesting petals that fell from the flowers. Background in "degradé" gray, darker on top.
