It features a textured, impasto style, using thick application of paint to give the white and yellow flowers in a vase a three-dimensional effect. The painting is done in an Impressionist style with notable impasto (textured) brushwork. This technique was popular in mid-century decorative art, often produced by studio artists. The still life depicts a bouquet of white and yellow flowers (possibly daisies or chrysanthemums) in a vase, against a muted green and yellowish background. It is housed in a classic gold-toned frame, typical of the period. Signed by "Helen" See less
