Bouquet Pourpre

19th century Belgian School oil painting on canvas signed (illegible) in the lower center. The work has a little texture to the touch.

A unique still life is achieved through the partially obscured vase. The comma-shaped brushstrokes are closely arranged. Some flowers exhibit slightly more texture, particularly the one protruding from the bouquet, adding depth to the composition.The lighting is moderate, coming from the right side and creating a contrast between light and dark, with the brightest spot highlighting the flowers in the center. The dark burgundy frame matches the color scheme nicely.
