It is a pleasant still life depicting a bouquet, a bunch of white carnations or small peonies in a clear glass vase.

Next to the vase of white carnations is a closed book, slightly tilted, which adds an intimate, domestic tone to the scene.

Bright light filters from the background through a curtain, creating soft shadows and reflections on the table and in the glass of the vase.

The canvas painting is signed lower right by F. Guillermin, a French painter known for his portraits and flower paintings.

Francisque Guillermin (1878–1947) was born in Montrevel (Isère). He collaborated with the renowned portraitist François Guiguet,

from whom he learned a great deal about the precision of painting techniques. He then worked for a decorator in Valence.

He exhibited in Paris and at the Salon des Artistes Français, and became a partner. He decorated the ceiling of the

Brasserie Georges in Lyon, an iconic venue that is still open today.

In 1937, he received the Prix de la Société Lyonnaise des Beaux-Arts. The painting is housed in an original, carved wooden frame.

The oil painting and frame have been carefully and professionally restored.
