FROM THE BARNES FOUNDATION’S CATALOG
Renoir painted flowers throughout his career to experiment with colors and textures, to relax his mind, and to satisfy demand from eager buyers. The yellow, red, and white roses in the bouquet seen here range from closed buds to drooping blossoms (note the fallen petals at the left), presented from multiple angles. The magnificent open white rose contains every color that Renoir used in this painting, anticipating the profound blurring of subject and background seen in late works such as Nude in a Landscape and Nude from the Back , both on the adjacent wall.
