This magnificent horizontal still life captures a sprawling, abundant bouquet of blossoms rendered in a soft, dreamy palette of lavender, pastel pinks, dusty rose, and creamy whites.

The true hallmark of this piece is its remarkable craftsmanship—featuring thick, three-dimensional impasto palette knife texturing that lifts the petals right off the canvas into a tactile, sculptural display.

The painting is housed in its gorgeous, substantial vintage 2.5-inch deep wood and composite frame, finished in an elegant distressed ivory lacquer with heavy, ornate rococo gold gilt scrollwork sweeping the borders and corners. Signed by the artist in the lower left corner. A commanding, romantic focal piece perfect for anchoring a grandmillennial dining room sideboard, traditional living room mantel, or an old-world foyer entry. See less
