This painting shows a bouquet of white flowers in a transparent glass vase. There are daisies with long green stems, white petals, and round yellow centers. There are also some other flowers with puffy white blooms. The glass vase at the bottom is filled with the green stems of the flowers. The brushstrokes are soft and fluid, and the background is beige paper, with some faint words written by the bottom right corner.
