Description
A full, rounded bouquet of pink, white and red blooms rises from a blue-and-white vase on a table, their petals built from soft, layered strokes. Beside the vase, a Japanese fan painted in red and blue lies flat and open, its geometric pattern a sharp contrast to the loose, rounded flowers.
Painted in 1880 and held by Moscow’s Pushkin Museum, the large canvas (73.5 by 93 cm) sets that fan deliberately against the bouquet, pairing hard-edged decorative pattern with soft floral abundance. The print keeps the fan’s flat red and blue crisp and graphic, so it reads clearly as a separate object rather than blending into the table below.
