Tulips and Leeks

Original oil painting from France: A rare large scale still life with tulips and leeks. An early 20th-century school work with a classic composition in sober colors. There is a beautiful thickness of paint and brushstroke on the tulips. The light is focused, concentrated on the subject, the room seems to be plunged into the darkness around the table. The shadows and reflections are worked and give beautiful dimensions to the elements.
