Une fleur (A Flower) is a painting of female nude painted in 1887 by the Croatian artist Vlaho Bukovac. This Symbolist painting in pastel blues and pale flesh tones it depicts a beautiful female nude reclining next to an assortment of flowers and holding to her head a small spray of two rosebuds. The obvious meaning is that she is the flower referred to in the painting’s title with all of the attendant implications of blossoming and sexual awakening.
