Basket with Daisies Postcard — Vincent van Gogh | Zolota Ptakha

Painted in 1887 during the Paris years, Basket with Daisies belongs to the small flower studies Van Gogh used to test what saturated colour could do at close range. The picture is patient and unhurried, the kind of work in which he was teaching himself the alphabet of what was about to become Arles.
