A profusion of white blossoms with green leaves in an ornate planter is depicted in this oil painting by Russian/Israeli Artist Tamara Shpolyansky.

CONDITION: This painting is in good condition. There is some frame abrasion along the edges causing very minor loss to surface paint (see photograph above).
