A wonderfully moody and atmospheric painting of a bouquet. Oil on Canvas. Most possibly Belgium, early 20th Century.
A floral still life suspended in near-darkness, where flowers dissolve into shadow and re-emerge in strokes of ochre, umber and muted green. Painted with a restrained hand, the composition features the atmosphere of Tonalist painting. It shows silence, depth and fading light and the flowers appear almost extinguished, their curling petals hovering between presence and disappearance.
Executed on canvas and likely dating to the early decades of the twentieth century, the work possesses a distinctly intimate yet moody quality.
A contemplative and unusually atmospheric piece.
Dimensions: W. 46 x D. 1 x H. 76 cm
