The Daffodils

A wonderfully moody French midcentury floral still life, with a loose gathering of yellow flowers arranged in a blue and white ceramic vase. Painted in deep, earthy tones with wonderfully visible brushwork, the flowers seem to emerge from the dark ground rather than sit against it. The flashes of yellow and chalky blue give the whole thing just enough lift. Quiet, painterly and slightly melancholic, this is the sort of floral that feels more interesting the longer you live with it. Presented in a fresh and new simple gilt frame. Keep out of direct sunlight and gently dust with a soft cloth. Please note this item is final sale.
