Vincent van Gogh, Sunflowers (1888), oil painting of a vase of sunflowers

A dense bouquet of sunflowers fills a pale yellow ceramic vase set on a yellow tabletop against a yellow background. Thick, textured brushstrokes shape the blooms, from full brown centers to spiky, petal-like rays, with the vase's blue-outlined base anchoring the composition.
