About this work

This painting shows two panels with flower designs. The panels are rectangular and feature a gold background with a rough texture. The flowers are painted in shades of pink, white, and blue, with green stems and leaves. The flowers are arranged in a symmetrical pattern, with two large flowers on either side of the panel and smaller flowers in between. The painting has a sense of depth and dimensionality, with the flowers appearing to pop out from the background. The painting's use of color and composition creates a sense of harmony and balance.
