Based on your description of the image with a bowl of strawberries and a white flower, the principle that is NOT represented in this work of art is pattern. While there may be elements of variety, emphasis on the white flower, and some form of balance, a clear repeating arrangement characteristic of pattern is less likely to be present with just a bowl of strawberries and a single flower.
