Blue Irises, Petit Gennevilliers — Caillebotte | Postcard | Zolota Ptakha

A garden-eye view rather than a cut-stem still life: Caillebotte goes down into the iris bed at Petit Gennevilliers and reads the blooms against living grass. The painter's eye for horticulture meets the Impressionist taste for outdoor colour, and the result is unusually intimate for a flower picture. At A6 on 350 g/m² stock, the card carries that closeness in correspondence.
