This 1917 still life depicts yellow flowers in a black vase. The vase is centrally placed, resting on a table covered with a grey-blue tablecloth. The background is rendered in white, creating a flat, expansive surface. The yellow flowers are in full bloom, and the vibrant green of the leaves appears exceptionally vital. Notably, the artist leaves the center of the composition free from the floral arrangement: the flowers are arranged to create a gap, through which the background is visible. This arrangement appears to connect the foreground and background even more closely, while also enhancing the impression of symmetry, as the flowers seem to almost converge into a circle.
