The flowers are predominantly purple and white, with some green leaves. The background of the painting is divided into two sections: a yellow wall and a pink table. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of serenity and simplicity. To learn more about the artist's use of color and composition, explore the works of Paul Gauguin.
