This painting shows several flowers in a transparent glass vase on a light gray surface.

These flowers are surrounded by green leaves, and the vase is filled with green stems. The background behind the flowers and vase is a muted brown color, painted in thick, streaky brushstrokes. The brushstrokes across the whole painting are thick and visible.
