KNOWLEDGE THAT SUPPORTS BEAUTY

​This is a painting with a soft, vintage feel, likely done in watercolor. It shows a still life arrangement of old books and flowers. ​At the center, there is a small, dark glass jar holding a bouquet of large flowers. The most prominent are a creamy-white flower with a yellow center and a dusky pink rose. A few smaller blossoms, including some light purple and pink ones, are also part of the arrangement. ​The jar sits on a stack of two old, thick books. The top book has a bluish-green cover with some embossed gold lettering that is difficult to read. The bottom book has a reddish-brown cover with text, and both show signs of age with worn pages and spines. A few stray flowers and leaves are resting on the books and scattered around the bottom of the scene. ​The background is a simple, hazy wash of pale green and blue, and there are a few subtle paint drips at the bottom, which adds to the watercolor aesthetic. The overall mood is quiet and romantic.
