Painting of 19 roses from the garden, oil on wood.

Table 19th century, oil on wood. The roses from the garden just cut, no vase, no symmetrical bourgeois decorative composition, just the flowers, the deliberate gesture, nothing but the flowers, sublime. Everything, the chiaroscuro, the jumble of gathered roses, the format, the cracks in the varnish, the traces of an old and important frame, the bevel on the back of the piece of wood, everything is beautiful, calm, delicate and profound. 30.5cm X 22cm. When you know, you know.
