As a young man, Redon enjoyed a close friendship with the curator of the botanical gardens in his hometown of Bordeaux. In floral still lifes—such as the lively work (ca. 1900–1905) featured on this frame—the artist demonstrated a naturalist's sense of wonder as well as a richly inventive imagination, mixing many different types of blooms and foliage in an effervescent floral arrangement.
