This painting shows a bright, colorful bouquet of flowers with green leaves. There are big roses in pink and yellow, smaller purple flowers, and a white bloom. A butterfly with orange and black wings sits on the right side, as if resting. The flowers look carefully painted, with each petal and leaf drawn in detail. The red border frames the whole scene neatly. If you like this, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art for more works like it.
