About this work

This painting shows a simple still life: a wide vase with three red flowers in it. The vase sits on a dark surface, and the background is a dull greenish-gray. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, making the colors look rough and textured. The flowers are the brightest part, standing out against the faded backdrop. The artist didn’t smooth out the paint—the strokes are visible, giving the work a raw, almost unfinished feel. If you like this style, look up impasto next.
