This black and white photograph features a single calla lily set against a solid white background. The composition is built on a diagonal line, with a thin, dark grey stem rising from the bottom center and leading the eye toward the upper right. The flower head rests in that corner, providing a light grey shape that contrasts with the darker tone of the stem and the bright surroundings.

The image highlights the physical details of the plant, such as the visible veins running through the petal. While the artist notes the existence of hundreds of species within this genus, this specific view focuses on a minimalist presentation. The uniform white of the background removes all context, leaving only the grey tones of the flower and its stem to define the space.
