The composition brings together various floral varieties—roses, tulips, carnations, and wildflowers—rendered with a keen sense of detail and texture. The dark background enhances the vibrancy of the colors and accentuates the relief of the petals, rendered with a supple and nuanced touch. The flowers, at different stages of bloom, create a visual rhythm and a balanced composition, typical of large decorative still lifes.

Oil on canvas, 19th century, in a carved and painted wooden frame, decorated with inlaid glass or engraved mirror plates (églomisé style). Note some losses to the frame's paint. See less
