The painting Vase of Flowers was painted by Gwen John (1876-1939). It was donated to the National Library of Wales by CASW, Contemporary Art Society of Wales in 1957.

The subject of the painting is a vase of pink and white flowers on a wooden table with a few white petals falling onto the table. A pink cloth is draped over a table in the background. It is an oil on board painting using the style of dry painting with a impasto brush. This could have been painted in her lounge.It was painted in the early part of the 20th century. A similar earlier painting called Flowers can be seen at the Manchester Art Gallery.

"Vase of Flowers is a more classical and conceptual image and has the appearance of being a considered and reflective development on the original."^[1]
