Étude de fleurs 

This work, Étude de fleurs by Eugène Delacroix, is a study of various types of flowers. Delacroix, renowned for his Romantic style, employed a loose and expressive approach in this work. Executed with a vibrant palette of pastel colors, the flowers are rendered in a simplified and expressive manner, emphasizing the organic forms and delicate beauty of nature. The sketch-like quality of the composition highlights the artist's interest in capturing the essence of his subject rather than achieving photorealistic detail. This piece, while small in scale, demonstrates Delacroix's profound ability to express the power and beauty of the natural world.
