Cézanne Apples And Primroses Paperweight And Pen Set

The perfect Met Museum souvenir.

Our artful set, including a pen and glass paperweight, exhibits Paul Cézanne’s (French, 1839–1906) Still Life with Apples and a Pot of Primroses (ca. 1890) from the Museum’s holdings. This celebrated artwork—formerly in the personal collection of the Impressionist painter and passionate gardener, Claude Monet (French, 1840–1926)—is regarded as one of Cézanne’s finest still lifes of the 1890s. It was rare for the artist to depict flowering plants, which were susceptible to wilting during his careful process.
