The pleasing daisies in a vase at center may give this painting its name, so artfully have they been created and arranged. If so, their status as humble field flowers plays against the ornate, patterned background and checkerboard table. Beautifully harmonized colors create a self-enclosed space. Another interpretation of Pandolfini’s title might observe that everything here is a sort of Trompe-l'œil with painted surfaces.
