The design of this beautiful silk chiffon scarf is inspired by the 1885 painting A Vase of Tulips by French impressionist Claude Monet. 

While Monet is perhaps best known for painting en plain air (outdoors), he also painted simple still lifes. These works often depict lush, blooming arrangements with a characteristic style that focuses more on the overall atmosphere and sensory experience rather than precise details. These paintings are characterized by their vibrant color palettes and loose brushwork. They also express his fascination with the transient effects of light, which he famously captured in different seasons and atmospheric conditions on subjects such as haystacks, the Rouen cathedral, the River Thames, and the water lilies of his pond at Giverny.

Monet’s use of bold, contrasting colors and dynamic compositions creates a sense of movement and vitality, reflecting his deep appreciation for nature. His floral still lifes are celebrated for their ability to convey the fleeting beauty of flowers, infused with a sense of immediacy and emotion. 

The hems of the scarf are hand rolled and sewn, not machine stitched. The colors are bright and clear but, because the scarf is chiffon, they have a certain transparency. It is easily tied in a variety of ways and is large enough to wear as a light shawl.

71 "x 20". Dry clean only. Comes in a box suitable for gifting, along with a note detailing the origins of the image on the scarf.
