Dahlias in a Delft vase is a 1873 oil by Paul Cezanne, a Post-Impressionism work, depicting Bouquet, held at Musée d'Orsay.
The painting depicts a vase filled with flowers, including dahlias, set against a dark background. The vase itself is adorned with a blue and white floral pattern. The flowers are rendered in shades of white, yellow, and orange, with some appearing to be in various stages of bloom. A closer look reveals the brushstrokes are visible, giving the painting a textured appearance. The overall effect is one of simplicity and elegance, with the flowers and vase taking center stage.
