Juan Manuel Blanes was one of the most prominent painters of the 19th century in Uruguay and a key figure in Rio de la Plata realism. He stood out for his mastery of drawing, composition, and the treatment of light, as well as for his historical scenes, portraits, and still lifes, being considered the 'painter of the homeland' in his country.

The composition features a delicate bouquet of roses arranged on a dark background, which enhances the luminosity and volume of the flowers. Predominantly, the roses are in white and cream tones, accompanied by a central rose in a reddish hue that serves as the focal point of the scene. The brushwork is loose yet controlled, achieving a careful depiction of the velvety texture of the petals and a subtle play of light and shadow. The treatment of the background, sober and deep, directs the viewer's attention to the floral motif, conveying serenity and the compositional balance characteristic of 19th-century realism.

The work is presented with a golden wooden frame, of classic profile, with ornamented moldings and an aged finish that matches the piece's antiquity, framing the composition in an elegant and sober manner.
