Wild Roses, painting by Vincent van Gogh (1889)

White wild roses with bright yellow centers bloom among dense, teal-green leaves that are outlined in dark strokes. The loose, textured brushwork fills a pale green background, and the blossoms are arranged across the canvas in a close, rhythmic pattern.
