This painting shows a woman in a pink dress, standing behind a table with a vase of flowers on it. The woman is looking down at the table, and there are various objects on it, including a pineapple, a bowl of fruit, and a silver container. The painting is done in a style that emphasizes the play of light and shadow on the objects and the woman's face. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the woman is lost in thought as she arranges the flowers. If you like this painting, you might also enjoy works by Astrid Holm.
