In the center of the composition on a light pink and ocher background in a round white vase is a bouquet of flowers. The contours of the objects are blurred.

Against the background, white and silver-gray paint outlines the contours of a frame with a vertical crossbar. The painting of the still life is based on a combination of different textures: pasty painting on the background of rarely depicted flowers and in the lower part of the canvas, where the unwritten canvas can be seen. In the lower right corner in gray paint is the author's signature: "A. Zevyna". In the upper part of the canvas in black paint: "A. Zevyna x., m. 70x60 Still Life", 1982".

Description of the incident location
It was opened on May 27, 1978, in the former City Hall building, an architectural monument of the early 20th century. As of 2022 (before the robbery), the museum's collection included more than 13 thousand works of art and was one of the most interesting museum collections in Ukraine. It includes works of Ukrainian and foreign painting, graphics, sculpture, and decorative and applied arts. From October 31 to November 4, 2022, the Kherson Art Museum was looted by the russian occupiers, and more than 10,000 of its most valuable exhibits were stolen. The cargo was sent to Crimea, and the works (all or part of them) ended up in the Simferopol Central Museum of Tavrida. It is unknown whether everything is still there.
