A Garden Urn is a 1890 oil by Edouard Manet, a Impressionism work, held at Ashmolean Museum.
This painting shows a garden urn in the foreground, with a bouquet of flowers and leaves behind it. The urn is a light color, and the flowers are pink and green. The background is a light color, with some darker green brushstrokes. The flowers are arranged in a loose, casual way, and the leaves are scattered around them. The overall effect is one of simplicity and elegance. If you like this painting, you might also want to look up the artist, Édouard Manet.
