About this work

This painting shows a bright pink primrose plant in a red pot, sitting on a silver tray. Next to it are two yellow apples on a green tablecloth with a patterned edge. In the background, there’s a blue wall with a purple floral curtain and a silver pitcher on a stand. The brushstrokes are loose, making the scene feel quick and lively. The primrose’s leaves and flowers stand out against the calm colors around them. If you like this, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art for more works like it.
