Bouquet Sombre

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

A still life featuring flowers depicted through controlled and skillful brushstrokes. The chiaroscuro technique is pronounced, casting a portion of the composition into shadow. The yellow rose emerges as the focal point, captivating the viewer's attention and influencing the entire arrangement.
