From the 1860s onwards, Henri Fantin-Latour created numberous floral still lifes, among which the painting offered here is an outstanding example in several respects. Fantin-Latour shows us a flower arrangement of red and white carnations, many of which are already in full bloom. Other flowers are yet in their buds, about to reveal their beauty. The subtle drama thus created is further heightened by the painter's quick yet precise brushwork. The delicate colors of the flowers, which differ strikingly with the dark background of the picture, are effectively highlighted. "Œillets" was created in 1904 - shortly before the painter's death - and it illustrates the extent to which Fantin-Latour perfected flower painting throughout his artistic career.
