An oil painting on canvas depicts two artichokes on a yellow surface, against a pale pink background. The artichoke on the left is depicted as a full, blooming flower with a large purple center surrounded by spiky, green-brown petals. The artichoke on the right is smaller and appears to be in an earlier stage of development, with its purple florets peeking out from between protective green-brown leaves. Both artichokes are painted with visible brushstrokes, giving the texture of the canvas a prominent role in the artwork. The yellow surface beneath the artichokes is rendered with broad strokes of yellow and orange paint, suggesting light and shadow. The painting is displayed on a small wooden easel, which is positioned on a dark red textured surface, likely a tablecloth or fabric. The background behind the easel is dark, with some indistinct wooden structures visible. The painting is not located in Elche/Elx, Spain.
