‘White Roses’
Late 19th to early 20th Century, unsigned
An elegant oil on canvas depicting a spray of white roses and gathered foliage arranged against a dark, textured ground. The artist’s soft handling of light and shadow enhances the delicate tonal contrast between the luminous petals and the moody background, creating a composition that feels both romantic and quietly dramatic. A timeless decorative piece evoking the refinement of late Victorian or Edwardian interiors.
