About this work

This painting shows a vase filled with flowers on a wooden table. The flowers are in shades of white, yellow, and pink. The leaves are green, and some have fallen onto the table. The vase is clear and has a decorative base. It sits on a wooden table that is a lighter brown color than the background. The background is dark, which helps the flowers stand out. The painting is held at the Fitzwilliam Museum.
