The artwork titled “Still Life with Flowers” was created by William Merritt Chase in 1883. This piece is rendered in pastel and belongs to the Impressionism art movement. Measuring 38.1 x 48.26 cm, this still life resides in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a serene and harmonious still life scene, showcasing a vividly adorned ceramic jar and a smaller, more modestly colored ceramic pitcher. The backdrop features a floral-patterned cloth, whose soft, pastel hues beautifully complement the vessels in the foreground. The careful interplay of light and shadow highlights the intricate textures and delicate patterns, while the overall composition exudes a sense of tranquility and aesthetic pleasure characteristic of Impressionist works.
