This painting shows a simple vase with three white flowers—maybe callas—leaning slightly to one side. The vase is dark purple with a white rim, sitting on a rough, greenish table. The background is a mix of red and brown brushstrokes, like a wall or curtain. The flowers are painted with thick, uneven strokes, making them look almost alive. The artist left some edges messy, which gives the whole scene a loose, quick feel. If you like this style, look up impasto.
