Baskets of Flowers is a 1863 oil by Gustave Courbet, a Realism work, held at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.
This painting shows a large, woven basket filled with a variety of colorful flowers. The flowers are mostly white and pink, but there are also some yellow, orange, and red ones. They are all different shapes and sizes, and they are arranged in a way that looks natural and spontaneous. The basket is placed on a dark background, which makes the flowers stand out even more. The overall effect is one of beauty and simplicity. The painting is done in a realistic style, with a lot of attention to detail.
