Description and analysis

The canvas depicts yellow, white, pink and red roses in a narrow glass vase on a wooden table. A small stem with a white rose and two pink buds are extended on the left. The background is dark green and textured. Some flowers seem to have been cut prematurely, while others are collapsing.[2]

Fantin-Latour painted many still lifes of roses, which can now be seen in several museums around the world. He was inspired by the Flemish masters of the 17th century and the silent atmosphere of the still lives of fellow French painter Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin. This painting was bequeathed to the Manchester Art Gallery by Mr and Mrs Assheton-Bennett in 1979.[3]
