A refined mid-19th-century oil painting presented in its period gilt frame. The composition is both abundant and controlled. Cream and blush roses sit alongside deeper crimson and blue-toned flowers, while delicate highlights bring life to the petals. The artist has paid particular attention to texture, capturing the layered folds of the blooms with subtle tonal shifts and confident brushwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFloral still lifes of this period were highly sought after in France.
