White vase with flowers

A large white stemmed bowl is packed with a dense bouquet of ruffled dark red blooms, violet flowers, pale blue blossoms and green leaves; to its left a smaller footed dish holds two pears and a small red fruit, while an apple, a pomegranate and three tiny pears lie directly on the pale green tabletop.

Against a flat mint-green ground, saturated crimson, violet and turquoise petals are rendered with crisp, decorative outlines rather than soft blending; the bowl's textured white surface catches cool shadow, and the flattened, pattern-like arrangement gives the composition a bright, ornamental vibrancy.
