The painting depicts a realistic still life of various flowers, including roses, tulips, lilac, and snake's head lilies, arranged in a vase, accompanied by shells and insects such as butterflies, crickets, and wasps. The objects appear almost tangible, presented as if they were scientific specimens, yet the composition creates a vision of nature that may not exist in reality. The inclusion of insects and shells, along with the flowers, adds a layer of symbolism, possibly alluding to the vanitas theme, reflecting the ephemeral nature of life.
