This painting shows a colorful still life with a bouquet of flowers in a vase, surrounded by fruit on a table. The flowers are white, pink, red, and yellow, and the fruit includes apples, grapes, and a pear. The flowers are arranged in a blue and white vase with a decorative handle, and the fruit is scattered around the base of the vase. The background is dark, which helps the colors of the flowers and fruit stand out. To learn more about the artist's use of color and light, look up the technique of glazing.
