This painting shows a bright bouquet in a yellow pot. The flowers include white roses, a red-orange bloom with spiky petals, and a small orange fruit. The pot sits on a dark shelf with a ledge, and the background is a dark, blurred green. The artist used soft lighting to make the flowers stand out against the shadowy background. That’s called *chiaroscuro*—a way to add depth with light and dark. Look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use shadows like this.
