The hand-painted composition depicts a lush bouquet of pink, white, red and brilliant blue blossoms arranged in a classical urn against a deep, dark background.

The substantial sculptural frame is the centerpiece of the presentation, featuring elaborate raised shell, floral, foliate and scrolling motifs finished in warm antique gold and bronze tones. Its dramatic high-relief decoration draws inspiration from Baroque and Rococo design and gives the relatively intimate floral painting impressive architectural presence.

The dark ground of the painting beautifully emphasizes the colorful blossoms, while the aged gilt finish of the frame provides warmth and Old World character. An elegant decorative piece for a traditional, French-inspired, maximalist, Hollywood Regency or eclectic interior. See less
