Evening primroses in the vase 1885

"Evening primroses in the vase" is a painting by Paul Gauguin from 1885, currently in a private collection. The painting depicts a simple still life of yellow and orange primroses in a dark brown vase, set against a muted orange background. The artist's signature can be seen in the bottom right corner of the painting. While a seemingly simple subject, Gauguin's painting demonstrates his characteristic use of bold colors and thick brushstrokes, creating a textured and expressive surface. This work highlights Gauguin's artistic exploration of the natural world, particularly his fascination with the vibrant hues of flowers.
