Still Life with Apples and a Pot of Primroses (oil painting (visual work); Paul Cézanne (French, 1839-1906); ca. 1890; Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York City, New York state, U...; 51.112.1;)

Note: Cézanne rarely painted flowering plants or fresh-cut bouquets, which were susceptible to wilting under his protracted gaze. He included potted plants only in three still lifes, two views of the conservatory at Jas de Bouffan, his family's estate, and about a dozen exquisite watercolors made over the course of two decades (from about 1878 to 1906). Cézanne seems to have reserved this particular table, with its scalloped apron and distinctive bowed legs, for three of his finest still lifes of the 1890s. This painting was once owned by the ardent gardener Claude Monet.
