In the image, a tall plant with white flowers stands in the foreground, surrounded by smaller plants and rocks. The background is a dark, cloudy sky. The plant's flowers are long and thin, with petals that curve outward. The leaves are long and spiky, and the stems are thin and wiry. The smaller plants around the base of the tall plant are shorter and more rounded, with softer leaves. This painting is held at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
