Verso we can partly make out a framers stamp; 'Prepared by ??????sson \u0026amp; Co Ltd, ? London, NW”. It could be cleaned if so desired. There is some loss to the frame.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The composition has a sense of Pierre-Auguste Renoir's 1881 picture 'Bouquet of Chrysanthemums' about it in terms of the palette used and it may have provided an inspiration to this work. The use of the dark background was a common trend used by still life artists that only really changed with the likes of Monet's works and Van Gogh's Sunflowers in 1888.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e An attractive and decorative picture illustrating the simple balance and beauty of inanimate objects.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Archive","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":52562605277464,"sku":"ACB9","price":240.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/5800\/5784\/files\/supersize692.jpg?v=1787572463","url":"https:\/\/doeandhope.shop\/products\/a-charming-late-19thc-nave-school-oil-on-canvas-still-life-of-flowers-acb9","provider":"doeandhope.shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
