The artwork, titled “Pot of Flowers,” was rendered by Pierre Bonnard around the year 1888. Executed in oil on canvas, this piece is associated with the Post-Impressionism movement. It measures 40.6 by 33.3 centimeters and belongs to the genre of flower painting. Presently, this piece is part of a private collection.
The painting features a solitary pot brimming with vibrant, orange-hued flowers. The backdrop is a dark green, which contrasts starkly with the lighter tones of the pot and the bright blossoms, making the florals the focal point of the artwork. The pot itself is adorned with subtle decorative patterns, adding a layer of texture to the composition. The surrounding frame is painted in a pale, almost white color with hints of blue, which serves to further highlight the central subject. Bonnard’s brushwork and use of color effectively capture the organic beauty and liveliness of the flowers, characteristic of the Post-Impressionist style.
