‘Garden Flowers’
Late 19th Century School
A richly atmospheric oil on canvas depicting an abundant arrangement of garden flowers gathered in a classical manner against a warm, tonal ground. Cream roses and deep crimson blooms sit alongside softer yellow and blue accents, their forms emerging gently from shadow. The restrained palette and softly blended brushwork lend the composition a quiet intimacy, characteristic of late 19th-century decorative still life painting. Both elegant and timeless, the work retains a painterly charm that complements traditional interiors beautifully.
