Oil on canvas painting depicting a floral arrangement with yellow and white pansies, placed in a central vase resting on a surface covered by a light-colored cloth. Some cut flowers are placed in the foreground, creating a visual dialogue between the main mass of the bouquet and the elements scattered on the surface.
The scene is set against a dark, uniform background that highlights the chromatic richness of the flowers and the impasto quality of the paint. The application is full-bodied, with visible brushstrokes and chromatic layering that define volumes and surfaces without seeking meticulous detail. The treatment of the petals alternates dense areas with drier passages, while the cloth features soft modulations of white and grey, resolved through an undulating brushwork movement.
The piece is housed in a contemporary gilded wooden frame, with a wide profile, which contributes to the overall presentation. On the back, the original wooden stretcher with corner joints is visible. Signature present in the lower right. See less
