| A cluster of blushing pink roses and delicate pale blue primroses rests upon a dark stone plinth, their velvet petals illuminated against the sombre, earthy depths of the background. A thorny branch extends over the blooms in a gentle arc, while a solitary dark butterfly lingers near a nascent rosebud, poised in a transient and attentive pause. |
