The painting features a vibrant arrangement of flowers in a golden vase, set against a dark background. The flowers are depicted in various shades of orange, yellow, and white, with green leaves and stems. In front of the vase, a few fruits and leaves are scattered on a wooden surface. A subtle detail is the faint inscription on the wooden surface, which reads "DECEMBER". This suggests that the painting is part of a series, possibly depicting the changing seasons or months of the year.
