Description:

Oil on canvas painting depicting a still life with flowers in a vase. The composition is structured around a decorated ceramic jug, set on a surface covered by a dark cloth, from which a varied floral bouquet of daisies, daffodils, mimosas, and red inflorescences emerges. An additional cluster of flowers, including roses and lilacs, lies on the lower surface, creating a visual counterpoint to the vertical composition. The brushwork is marked by rich, textured strokes that define the volume of the petals and the transparency of the foliage. The neutral, shaded background isolates the subject, focusing attention on the chromatic contrasts and the light that models the forms. The piece is housed in a contemporary, warm, luxury carved and gilded wood frame with foliage ornaments.
