A dense, loosely gathered bouquet of small wildflowers sits at the center of a wide horizontal canvas, in the manner of a 17th-century Dutch floral still life. Roses, daisies and sprigs of tiny baby's-breath-like blossoms cluster in the middle, while slender stems and buds trail outward and thin to almost nothing near the corners.

Soft, diffused light falls across the central cluster as the dark, mottled background recedes into shadow. Thin, fluid brushstrokes and an antique varnish glaze give the oil surface a muted, aged warmth in deep umber, antique cream, dusty blush and faded olive gold.
