The painting depicts a serene scene of white water lilies blooming in a pond. The background is a muted gray with a large, peach-colored orb that appears to be the sun. The water lilies are painted in a realistic style with their petals open and reaching towards the sky. The leaves are a deep green and almost look like they are floating on the water. The water itself is a dark, almost black, and reflects the light from the sun and the flowers. This painting is an example of watercolor art.
