FROM THE BARNES FOUNDATION’S CATALOG
Cézanne painted this still life of a richly colored pitcher of flowers in his studio. The work shows the artist's deft use of studio props. The patterned drapery colored in green, red, and orange and hanging to the left is actually a carpet. The foliated curtain, which disappears behind the table to the right, appears in other still lifes by the artist. The white milk pitcher at the center of the painting, with its floral decoration, is also a studio favorite, seen in a painting in room eight.
