The artwork, entitled “White Roses in a Green Vase,” was created by Henri Fantin-Latour in 1871. This painting, rendered in oil on canvas, belongs to the Realism art movement and is classified under the genre of flower painting. Currently, it resides in a private collection.
The artwork presents a bouquet of white roses arranged in a dark green vase. The roses, lush and delicate, are illuminated subtly against a dark, subdued background. The artist meticulously captured the texture of the petals, their edges slightly tinged with hints of other colors, and the reflections on the glass vase with a keen eye for realism. The composition is simple yet elegant, allowing the beauty of the flowers to command the viewer’s attention.
