Flowers in a Vase

Odilon Redon, c. 1910

The painting shows a large bronze vase filled with a bouquet of wildflowers, including white daisies, light blue cornflowers, and bright red poppies and roses. Between the larger flowers are green leaves and smaller flowers in purple, orange, and pink. Behind the vase is a background that is mostly light gray but has hints of rosy pink and light blue. The paint is applied in thick, textured strokes.
