Forest Bouquet

19th-century French School oil on wood panel. The work is smooth to the touch.

The work has a bright natural light which is based on a balanced game of chiaroscuro. Each flower in the composition is detailed with a fine brush. This realism is based on controlled natural reflections and shadows. The background is complex, playing with wildness and domestication at the same time.
