This lipstick case with mirror is illustrated with a detail from the work by Vincent van Gogh (1853 - 1890) "Irises", 1890, Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam.
Van Gogh painted this still life in the psychiatric hospital in Saint-Rémy. For him, the painting was mainly a study in colour. He set out to achieve a powerful colour contrast. By placing the purple flowers against a yellow background, he made the decorative forms stand out even more strongly. The irises were originally purple. But as the red pigment has faded, they have turned blue.
