The artwork, titled “Still Life With Pansies” by Henri Fantin-Latour, was created in 1874. This piece, rendered in oil on canvas, belongs to the Realism movement and fits within the still life genre.
The artwork features an arrangement of pansies prominently displayed in the center, radiating a natural and gentle composure. The pansies, detailed with varying shades of yellow, purple, and white, rest inside clay pots, their leaves extending outward with a touch of verdant vitality. To the right, a cluster of apples, depicting a subtle contrast in color with their yellowish-green and hints of red, rests gracefully on the wooden surface. The background remains dark, enhancing the vividness and dimensional quality of the flowers and fruits. This realistic portrayal of everyday objects emphasizes the simplicity and beauty found in ordinary life.
