A loose, wild cluster of white and antique-gold daisies with brown centers fills a dense horizontal band along the lower canvas, then thins into scattered blooms on slender, curving stems that rise toward the upper edges. Dusty olive leaves thread through the flowers, and a few tall stems climb above the main cluster into a large expanse of dark negative space.

A soft, warm, single-source glow catches the pale petals against the near-black ground, with no harsh highlights or hard shadows. Painted in oil in the manner of a 17th-century Dutch still life, the piece shows woven canvas grain, thick loaded strokes on the petals, and a dark background of dry-brush and scumbled texture. The result is antique, romantic and quietly dramatic.
