This refined still life depicts a rich bouquet of flowers in an elegant vase, placed on a warm, golden-brown background against a deep, dark backdrop. The composition is carefully balanced and constructed with a harmonious blend of soft pink and white hues, complemented by vibrant accents of red, orange, and blue.
The painter paid close attention to detail and texture: the petals are faithfully rendered with subtle color gradients and light reflections, while small elements such as a fallen petal and an insect on the tabletop give the whole a lively and narrative touch.
The brushwork is fine and controlled, indicative of craftsmanship and a realistic painting tradition. The rich gilded frame with floral motifs and deep profiling enhances the work's classical character and gives it a luxurious appearance.
The whole exudes the atmosphere of 19th-century Belgian and Dutch still lifes, where color, contrast, and refinement are central. A decorative and timeless work of art that will suit both classic and eclectic interiors.
The work was signed by PvH and framed by V. Dechamps – Habelange (Liège)
