Still Life: Vase with Fifteen Sunflowers by Vincent van Gogh, 1889
This one apparently sold at a record-breaking auction price back in the 1980s, which is part of why it ended up in a Tokyo collection instead of a European one.
Erisava: Why does all this yellow start to feel like too much?
Sunflowers by Vincent van Gogh, 1889
This one, apparently, was one of three repeats he made a few months after the originals — meant as a gift for Gauguin, though it never actually reached him.
Erisava: This is yellow on yellow and I can't tell if that's a choice or he ran out of paint.
A Young Girl Reading by Jean-Honoré Fragonard, 1770
Nobody knows who she was, from what I can find. She's usually lumped in with a run of quick 'fantasy figures' he knocked out — people in dress-up rather than portraits of anyone in particular. Scans of the canvas supposedly show a different figure underneath, facing straight out, before he painted over it.
Erisava: She's gone into that book completely. I'd have hung this in my house back then.
