Bouquet of Flowers in a Vase (painting (visual work); Gustave Courbet (French, 1819 - 1877) (French Artist); 1862; J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center (Los Angeles, Los A...; 85.PA.168)

Note: While he typically eschewed allegory, Courbet may have also followed the Dutch practice of using ephemeral flowers to suggest the transitory nature of life and human happiness. Unlike Van Huysum and other Dutch painters known for their intricately detailed technique, Courbet used broad brushstrokes and often spread his thick paint with a palette knife.
