Bouquet of Flowers 1843

Eugène Delacroix's "Bouquet of Flowers" (1843) is a watercolor study that showcases the artist's masterful use of color and brushwork. This intimate, close-up depiction of a vibrant bouquet arranged in a vase, features a variety of flowers in shades of red, white, blue, and yellow, rendered with delicate washes of watercolor, creating a sense of light and depth. Delacroix, renowned for his Romantic paintings, also explored still-life subjects, capturing the beauty of the natural world with the same passionate intensity he brought to his historical and literary scenes. Today, this small work can be found in the Musée Fabre in Montpellier, France.
