"Vase of Peonies on a Small Pedestal" is a traditional still life painting that flaunts the beauty of peonies resting in a vase on a tiny stand.

Every detail, from the shading on the petals to the translucent glass of the vase, has been intricately depicted, reflecting a surfeit of skill and observation.
