Roses is a 1894 oil by Henri Fantin-Latour, a Post-Impressionism work, held at National Galleries Scotland.
This painting shows a vase filled with roses in various colors, including red, pink, and white. The flowers are arranged in a loose, organic way, with some of them facing forward and others turned to the side. The vase is dark green and has a wide base that narrows slightly at the top. The background of the painting is a muted, earthy color that complements the colors of the flowers. The overall effect is one of simplicity and elegance, with the flowers taking center stage. You can find more paintings like this one at the Scottish National Gallery.
