The composition depicts a rich floral bouquet harmoniously arranged: pink and white roses, hollyhocks,

dahlias, carnations, daisies, and wildflowers, rendered with remarkable chromatic sensitivity and close

attention to botanical detail.

The warm, deep tones of the dark background enhance the brilliance of the petals, creating an elegant

chiaroscuro effect typical of the French academic tradition. The soft and controlled brushwork, with a

realistic rendering, and the slightly asymmetrical arrangement lend naturalness and movement to the scene.

The painting is enhanced by an important 19th-century gilt frame in fine gold leaf, contemporary with the

artwork and finely carved, increasing its decorative and collectible value.

Antique floral painting, still life signed at the lower right Trébutien, painter of flowers and fruit.
