A still life painting of yellow, purple, and white pansies in a pot
The painting depicts a cluster of pansies in a pot, set against a dark, muted background. A light brown or beige pot, with a slightly textured surface, is visible in the lower half of the composition. It appears to be a shallow, wide container with a visible rim. Densely packed pansies fill the upper portion of the pot and extend upwards. The flowers display a variety of colors. Several prominent pansies are vibrant yellow, often with dark, almost black, centers. Other pansies are deep purple or violet, some with lighter edges or streaks of white and yellow, also featuring dark centers. A few lighter, almost white or pale yellow pansies are visible towards the left side of the arrangement. The foliage is a mix of dark and medium green leaves, providing a lush base for the blooms. Visible brushstrokes give the flowers and leaves a textured quality. The uniform, dark olive-green or brown background lacks discernible features. The overall lighting appears soft, casting no harsh shadows.
