Henri Fantin-Latour's Pansies, painted in 1903 near the end of his career, exemplifies the flower still lifes for which he was most consistently sought after by British and French collectors, painted with the close tonal control and restrained palette he had refined over four decades of studio practice. The modest scale and single-subject focus are typical of Fantin-Latour's late output, produced steadily for a market that valued his flower pictures above his more ambitious figure compositions. Oil on canvas, the work entered the collection through the gift of Paul O. Fabri in 1996. Scion notes that an artist's own market history — which subjects were most sought in his lifetime — remains directly relevant to how a comparable work is positioned for a collector today.
