Notes
The blue vase in the foreground of Cézanne's bouquets of flowers is the same as the one that Camille Pissarro painted in a still life of 1873. It would appear then that Cézanne painted this work in Pissarro's studio in Pontoise, perhaps around the same time as [Nature morte à la soupière, 1877 (726)].
