Roses

The painting depicts a delicate still life: at the center stands a dark, rounded vase, either clay or metal, holding lush white peonies tinged with pale pink. Their soft petals are rendered with broad, textured brushstrokes, creating a sense of both volume and fragility. The deep, muted brown background highlights the brightness of the blossoms, making them appear as if softly glowing against the shadows. In the foreground, at the base of the vase, rests a fallen flower — a symbol of fragility and the fleeting nature of beauty. The painting conveys a quiet atmosphere, filled with reflection and poetic melancholy.
