Van Gogh painted almost 230 paintings during his stay in Paris, more than in any comparable period of his life. This work is more diverse in character, the frank record of two years of continual experiment. A significant part of these pictures belonged to the genre of still-life with flowers. These paintings can be considered experimental aiming to lighten his palette and explored colours.

When van Gogh painted the series of flower still-lifes, he set himself the task much as he had with the series of peasants' portraits. He produced over forty of them; they are not exactly among his greatest masterpieces, but they certainly prove his determination to master colour.
