FROM THE BARNES FOUNDATION’S CATALOG
While the bare parts of the canvas along the bottom and left edge make this picture appear unfinished, it is possible that Cézanne deliberately left these areas unpainted and considered this a complete work. If the blank sections are jarring, so is the still life's off-center presentation, as the table seems to slide toward the left. The floral pitcher was from the kitchen of Cézanne's father's country estate, the Jas de Bouffan, where this was painted. The pitcher appears in another still life in the collection as well (BF910).
