Fleurs D'antan
$550.00
19th-century French School oil on canvas lower left (illegible). The canvas has a little texture to the touch.
A still life with compact and voluminous brushstrokes. Time seems to change the nature of the composition by creating a faded effect that brings out only the essential with poetry.
Please note: This painting appears darker in faded or shadowy light and is painted on a thick hemp-linen canvas that absorbs light rather than reflecting it. The effect is very muted French country, perfect for a library. It was discovered in a barn in Normandy.
