Bouquet in a Chinese Vase

ca. 1912–14

Not on view

Redon owned a variety of vases, which his wife, Camille, used in arranging the bouquets that formed the subject of his late still-life paintings. The delicately patterned white vessel depicted in this work appears in several other pictures, including The Met’s Vase of Flowers (Pink Background) of about 1906 (59.16.3).
