Composition in tones earthy, ochre, yellow and white (predominant), red, green and blue. Rough texture in the treatment of flowers and smooth the vessel and bottom. Oval vase placed in the center of the composition with stylized flowers in various shades. Noteworthy is a kind of daisy in the center of the array and there is foliage like ferns to flowers mixed. Brushstrokes suggesting fallen petals in front of the vessel. Skip across the entire width of the support, below the vessel and shadow cast on the right. Plain background.
