About the piece

Painted in 1861 by American artist John La Farge, this masterful oil painting demonstrates his poetic approach to light and form. A low bowl of vibrant red and soft pink blooms sits on a window sill, flanked by the ethereal folds of a white curtain that diffuses the incoming sunlight, while the hazy landscape beyond creates a sense of tranquil depth.
