**Detailed description:**

For auction comes an extremely expressive and masterfully executed oil painting, depicting a lush flower still life in a bulbous, blue-shimmering vase.

The artwork particularly impresses with its virtuoso use of the spatula technique. Through the heavily impasto, almost three-dimensional brushwork, the blossoms in bright reds, radiant whites, yellows, and oranges gain fascinating depth, texture, and liveliness. The light wonderfully catches on the raised color planes. The cool, finely nuanced blue-gray background excellently highlights the warm color palette of the bouquet and gives the overall image a very harmonious yet dynamic aura. An exceptionally decorative and timeless focal point for any interior.

**Condition:**

The painting is in a very nice, well-kept condition. The colors are wonderfully fresh, intense, and luminous. The back of the canvas and the stretcher frame are also very well preserved. The frame shows at most minimal, age-related signs of wear. Please examine the detailed close-ups carefully; they are an essential part of the lot description and document the beautiful condition as well as the fantastic texture of the work.

**Shipping:**

Shipping is carried out very carefully and shockproof packed, insured and, of course, with a tracking number (Tracking).
