Several figures are humorously carrying an oversized bouquet with three faces emerging from it. The sketch is detailed with shading and line work to depict motion. The artwork conveys whimsy and critique, typical of satirical art.

Gathered in a round glass vase, a tall bouquet of flowers in shades of light and deep pink, sunshine yellow, and white with pine-green leaves nearly fills this vertical still life painting. Shown against an gray background, the vase sits on a narrow ledge, perhaps made of wood. A label with looping, cursive French text painted in gold against a baby blue background is affixed to the front of the ledge, along the bottom edge of the composition. The text reads, “C'est l'Angelicq main du grad Peinctre de Flore AMBROISE, renommé jusqu' au Rivage Moré.” A few of the flowers draw the eye, including a tulip and iris at the top of the bouquet. To our left, the tulip is mauve pink with cream-colored streaks, and one petal folds down to reveal the stamen inside. Next to it, a damselfly, an insect like a delicate dragonfly, rests on the vibrant yellow iris. The petals curling down from the iris are veined in muted burgundy red. Flowers filling in the bouquet below include a shell-pink cyclamen, a white gardenia, a closed blue and white striped columbine, a slate-blue grape hyacinth, lily of the valley, pale blue forget-me-nots, and a pink peony interspersed with leaves and greenery. The round glass vase has a narrow opening. A sprig of viola rests to our left of the vase on the ledge, and an orange, black, white, and brown butterfly perches on the stem of a pink cyclamen laying to our right of the vase. The artist signed the painting with a monogram and dated it in dark paint to our right on the face of the ledge: “AB 1621.”

Bouquet of Roses

Henri Fantin-Latour

1879 · lithograph (proof) on wove paper

Open full record

This painting shows a variety of flowers in a decorative light orange vase. The flowers are of a variety of sizes and colors, including bright orange, blue, white, red, and pink, surrounded by green leaves and stems. The vase is positioned centrally at the bottom of the painting, with most of the tall flowers extending upwards to the top of the painting. Some flowers also drip down the sides of the vase or lie on the surface below. The surface and the wall behind the vase are both light brown. The orange vase appears to have shapes either carved or painted on it, but they are hard to identify. The lines in this painting are loose and sketch-like, and the colors have been applied similarly, sometimes bleeding out of the outlines of the flowers.
