Roses in a Bowl is a 1881 oil by Henri Fantin-Latour, a Impressionism work, held at Art Institute of Chicago.
This painting shows pink roses in a white bowl on a wooden table. The petals look soft, with gentle light catching their edges. Fantin-Latour painted it in 1881, a time when many artists focused on bright colors. But he stuck to quiet, soft tones that make the flowers feel real. This work feels close to the Dutch Golden Age still lifes. Check out Roses in a Bowl at the Art Institute of Chicago.
