… Read more The old painting Still Life with Flowers, offered here, is an oil painting on panel from the late 19th century

and is housed in an antique frame gilded with pure gold leaf. Rose flowers.

It depicts a beautiful vase of pink and white roses, arranged naturally in an elegant and balanced composition.

The delicately rendered green leaves and flowers emerge from a dark, neutral background that

enhances their luminosity and delicate tones. The brushstroke is controlled, smooth, without obvious marks,

typical of the 19th-century French tradition.
