About this work

This painting shows a simple blue vase holding a loose bunch of flowers. The petals are drawn in soft pinks and reds, some with quick pencil strokes. A small face peeks out from the bottom right corner, looking up at the flowers. The artist used light washes of color, almost like a sketch. The flowers aren’t perfectly drawn—they’re more like quick, dreamy shapes. If you like this style, check out more by Odilon Redon.
