Three Roses by John Herbert Alger

A hilly landscape sets a picturesque scene of three vibrantly colored roses, placed in an ornate ceramic vase. Seemingly supported by a small black table, the vase and the roses overlook a hilly landscape with green grass and a bright blue lake. The sky behind it is a calming blue grey that contrasts sharply with the dark black table. The crisp edges of the table are also in contrast with the rolling hills, and the curved nature of the roses, including the rounded design of vase and how it is decorated. The combination of a clear sky, and pastel colors of pink, blue, green, and tan have a calming effect on the eye.
