the scene transports us to the heart of a bustling parisian flower market (evoking the banks of the seine with the bridge and the towers of the conciergerie standing out in the background). Under covered arbors, a profusion of pots, bouquets, and floral arrangements bursts forth in vibrant splashes of color: poppy orange, soft pink, pure white, and deep greens.

amidst this floral display, several figures are busy: a florist in an apron advises an elegant woman in a pink dress, other shoppers choose their bouquets, while a dapper gentleman in a dark suit and hat walks away in the center, a generous bouquet under his arm. The composition is crowned by a poetic, pink-tinged sky, dotted with small, cottony clouds.

thérèse hummel displays the full freshness of her palette and the graphic freedom so characteristic of her work.

biography / about the artist thérèse hummel (1896-1967)

a close figure in parisian artistic circles during the first half of the 20th century, thérèse hummel belonged to that generation of independent female artists who evolved at the heart of modernism.

close to the leading figures of the montparnasse and montmartre avant-garde, she shared privileged friendships with jeanne hébuterne, amedeo modigliani, and pablo picasso.

immersed in this exceptional creative ferment, her work is characterized by a remarkable artistic freedom, combining the poetry of everyday life, simplified forms, and expressive color.

her works, sought after and rare on the market, constitute a precious testament to the creative spirit of the school of paris.

the artwork is presented in a custom-made museum-quality frame: anti-reflective glass that filters uv rays.
