¹ Robert Sterling Clark (1923–55) Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, 1955.ġ. Édouard Manet, Moss Roses in a Vase, 1882, oil on canvas. (76.8 x 56 x 5.1 cm)Īcquired by Sterling and Francine Clark before 1955 The apparent casualness of the composition and the confident handling of oil paint give the work a striking directness. The flowers and leaves in this image are painted in quick strokes of color, and light reflecting off the surface of the vase conveys a sense of the solidity and weight of the glass. Manet painted a series of small still lifes in his later years, when illness made working on a larger scale difficult.
