Heavy clusters of white and cream hydrangeas fill a wicker basket, with deep green leaves and a few blooms fading to olive. One loose flower rests on the wooden surface in front.

The paint is laid on thickly in short, visible strokes. The petals look sculpted, and the blue-grey background is built from broad, scraped patches of color. Folds of pale cloth on the left add a soft, muted counterpoint to the flowers.
