About this work

This painting shows a big vase filled with flowers on a table. The flowers are mostly white and purple, with some green leaves mixed in. Next to the vase, there’s a folded fan lying flat and a piece of cloth draped over the table’s edge. The brushstrokes are loose, almost like the artist hurried to capture the flowers before they wilted. The colors feel soft but a little faded, as if seen through a window. Next, look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint in their work.
