Henri Fantin-Latour Pansies



Painting: Pansies

Artist: Henri Fantin-Latour

Medium: Oil on Canvas

Year: 1903

Size: 9x11.125"

Fantin-Latour prided himself on his figurative works, but it was his floral still lifes that were most popular with contemporary collectors, especially British ones. In this informal study of pansies, the artist has used the end of his paint brush to carve out details in the thick paint of the petals.Henri Fantin-Latour Pansies
