Fantin-Latour is best known as a still life painter, though he also painted portraits and allegories. In this delicate painting, the petals of the roses, with their precise outlines, rich colors, and velvety textures, stand out against the thinly-painted, off-white background. A great admirer of the artist’s work, Francine Clark asserted that Fantin-Latour was “as fine as Renoir at times.”
