This painting shows a simple vase of flowers on a rough surface. The flowers include red anemones, a white rose, and a few pink blooms. The brushstrokes are loose, with some areas blending softly and others staying sharp. The artist used watercolors, keeping the colors bright but not perfect. The rough texture of the background contrasts with the smooth petals. Look up Impressionism to see how this style changed how artists painted light and color.
