This painting shows a close-up of white flowers with long, curvy petals. The stems have blue lines that look like veins. Green leaves stick out around them, some pointing up, some down. The background is a soft, light color that makes the flowers stand out. The artist used light colors to show how the flowers catch the light. The petals have a slight glow where the light hits them. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
