The painting depicts four large vases, each holding large, stylized flowers. There are large white flowers with red and yellow centers, a round yellow flower with a blue center, a red and white flower with red lines in the center, and a small red flower. The first vase on the left is brown with white spots, the second is white with a blue circle, the third is bright blue, and the fourth is tan. Along with the flowers, the vases are filled with tall, dark green leaves. The vases stand on a brown surface, and the wall in the background is painted in a neutral light gray color. There appears to be a poster or image on the wall that shows a green shape with red circles on it. The brushstrokes in this image are large and visible.

Christmas Still Life

Gabriele Münter · 1937 · oil on cardboard ·  Accession ID  1973.2.2

This painting features bold, angular lines and curved shapes. Elements interconnect to form a pattern resembling a human face, with a triangular shape for a nose and curved lines suggestive of closed eyes. Warm, pastel colors like pink, yellow, and orange are paired with cooler shades such as blue and green, alongside black lines. The brushstrokes are feathery and visible, blending the colors together. The background is a pale peach color.
