A dense oleander bush dominates the centre of the scene, its branches heavy with clusters of pink and yellow blossoms that spill outward in every direction. The flowers are rendered with quick, textured brushstrokes, giving the petals a sense of freshness and movement against the deep green of the foliage. Light filters through the leaves from the upper left, dappling the blossoms and casting shifting shadows onto the ground below.

Behind the oleander, pale columns and a sunlit wall suggest the sheltered courtyard setting of the artist’s home, with their forms softened by loose, impressionistic handling. At the lower right, a blue-and-white patterned tablecloth appears in the foreground, its geometric design contrasting with the organic forms of the flowers above. A vase on the table holds more pink oleander blooms, echoing the larger bush and adding a sense of intimacy to the composition.

The ground is painted in warm ochres and greens, with broad strokes that hint at grass and sunlit paths without defining them sharply. The composition is arranged so that the viewer looks through the foliage into the courtyard, creating a layered sense of space and enclosure. Pink, yellow, green, and blue dominate the colour scheme, their vibrancy heightened by the artist’s use of pure, unmixed pigments in many areas.

No human figures appear, but the presence of the table and vase suggests the lived-in, personal nature of the garden space. In the upper right corner, a patch of creamy white paint suggests a sunlit wall or column partially obscured by foliage. Vertical lines of pale green and beige in the background indicate the presence of architectural elements behind the bush.

The lower left edge of the painting features loosely brushed green forms that hint at additional plants or grass outside the main cluster of oleanders. Sunlight falls diagonally across the scene, creating bright highlights on the bush’s upper leaves and casting deeper shadows beneath the branches.
