A lush, romantic still life of roses spilling from a shallow bowl — buttery yellow, blush pink, and deep wine-red blooms tumbled together against a moody dark background. The brushwork is soft and confident, with real attention to the folds and layers of each petal. Painted on canvas, still mounted on its original stretcher with antique metal canvas keys at the corners — unframed, so it's ready for an easel, propping on a shelf, or direct hanging on a wall. The aged surface and canvas edges carry lovely, honest wear that only comes with time. A quietly beautiful piece for anyone who loves a classic floral with attention to realistic detail.
