The bouquet that Niekerk has placed in the foreground immediately draws our attention. The flowers take prominence with their bright, warm colours while the view in the background seems to recede because of its cool, tempered tones. This sense of depth is amplified by the diagonal lines of the window frame and the streets in the background, which draw the viewer further into the painting.
