Detailed Description
A large, overflowing bouquet of various flowers is centrally arranged in a dark, possibly green, glass vase with an ornate, fluted base, set against a dark brown background. The flowers display a wide range of colors, including prominent pink and red roses, white and yellow daffodils, red and orange tulips, blue irises, blue cornflowers, yellow and orange marigolds, and smaller white, pink, and blue blossoms. Some flowers, like a red anemone, are positioned towards the top left, while a red and white striped tulip extends towards the top right. Green leaves and stems are interspersed throughout the bouquet, providing a dark contrast to the bright blooms. The vase rests on a dark brown, flat surface that extends across the bottom of the frame. On this surface, to the left of the vase, a white flower with a green stem lies next to a few small blue forget-me-nots. A butterfly with patterned wings, primarily brown and orange, is perched near the base of the vase on the left. Scattered pink petals and a small red flower with green leaves are visible on the surface to the right of the vase. The lighting appears to come from the upper left, highlighting the flowers and creating subtle shadows.
