Analysis of White Flowers in a Bowl
The picture depicts a still-life painting of a pitcher and a bouquet of white Chinese Aster flowers in a bowl set against a blue backdrop.
A critic has described Berthe Morisot as “one who is such a dedicated Impressionist that she wishes to paint the motion of even inanimate things” in reference to her still-life paintings. She had a now-famous portrait painted of her by Édouard Manet. She would later marry the famous artist’s brother and produced numerous paintings of him and their daughter.
