Brief Description

Oval painting of colorful flowers in a blue vase, a conch shell on a dark surface

Detailed Description

An oval-shaped still life painting depicts a bouquet of flowers in a blue vase, set against a dark, almost black background. The central arrangement features a variety of blooms in shades of pink, white, light blue, and red, interspersed with dark green foliage. Large, multi-petaled pink and white blossoms are visible, alongside smaller clusters of light blue flowers and a few deep red flowers. The vase is a deep blue, with a subtle gold-colored rim at its base. To the left of the vase, on a dark brown horizontal surface, rests a large, pinkish-orange conch shell, its opening facing towards the viewer. The shell has a textured, spiraled form. Faint, illegible text is visible on the surface below the vase.
