Physical Description
A wide gladd vase rests upon a table partly covered by a cloth in a blue pattern. The vase contains a tall floral arrangement. Some flowed include pink, white, red and yellow roses, hydrageas, and lillies, among other flowers and greens. Floating around the flowers are three blue and white butterflies. The background behind the flower arrangement transitions from an almost black background from the left to a distant landscape scene, either through a window view or a painting.
