FROM THE BARNES FOUNDATION’S CATALOG
An anonymous artist has gathered white daisies, purple primrose, a pale pink rose, and blue love-in-a-mist into a small bouquet. Note the cool silvery tones (especially in the rose petals) and the lacy bracts around the love-in-a-mist blossoms. At the Barnes, Flowers with Daisies is displayed by another botanical watercolor, Field Flowers (1842) by Mélanie Marc. The pair draws attention to the flowers in a prominent painting below them, Matisse's Figure with Bouquet (1939).
