A Bundle of Asparagus

A Bundle of Asparagus or A Bunch of Asparagus ("Une botte d'asperges", "La botte d'asperges" or "Botte d'asperges") is an 1880 painting by Édouard Manet.
It was commissioned by the art collector Charles Ephrussi for 800 francs. On receiving the work he gave the artist 1000 francs instead and so Manet decided to paint a smaller second work now known as "A Sprig of Asparagus". He sent this second work to Ephrussi with a note reading "There was one [sprig] missing in your bundle".
