A bunch of flowers in a ceramic vase is displayed on a table. The tablecloth is decorated with flowers and blue stripes that help create a sense of recession into depth. Like most of Monticelli’s works, this picture is painted on a wood panel, much of which is left visible. Thick paint and blobs of pure colour have been used to suggest the flowers. The painting is similar in style to other still lifes by the artist in the National Gallery’s collection such as Still Life: Oysters, Fish and Still Life: Fruits, which feature the same tablecloth and were probably painted around the same time. Monticelli was highly regarded by his contemporaries, and was especially influential on Vincent van Gogh, who bought a flower painting by him which resembles this one.
