The painting depicts an arrangement of flowers in a vase, though the portrayal diverges from realism with its enlarged, scaled, and simplified elements. The flowers, rendered in shades of pink and purple, dominate the composition, showcasing a mix of irises, cosmoses, asters, and verbena. These blooms, though oversized and stylized, convey a sense of casual elegance as they protrude from a purple, patterned vase.
Adding to the surreal quality of the scene, some of the flowers are delineated only by a white contour, imparting a ghostly, ethereal quality that enhances the overall lightness of the composition. Against a dark background, the top portion of the painting features a brown mosaic reminiscent of wainscoting, while the lower section is filled with a deep navy blue, creating a striking contrast that accentuates the vibrancy of the flowers. Overall, the painting exudes a dreamlike ambiance, inviting viewers to revel in its whimsical interpretation of floral beauty.
