Oil on masonite still life painting by Joy featuring a dark green glass bottle sitting on a textured surface, possibly a mat or a woven fabric. Beside the bottle, there are pink carnation flowers with several petals, and a bit of greenery that spreads out across the surface, painted with detailed strokes to show texture and shadow. The background consists of a curtain in cream or beige, flowing down gently, and a partition showing a patterned weave in varied brown hues which adds depth to the composition. The natural light seems to be illuminating the scene on the left, creating reflections on the bottle and enhancing the curves of the greenery and petals of the carnation.Type of Painting
