BOUQUET DE FlEURS

A beautiful burst of orange, red and yellow blooms. Marigolds, dahlias and chrysanthemums tumble from a blue vase onto a softly striped cloth. 

The generous, impasto brushwork give a real texture and presence in this statement piece.

Signed by French artist Marcel Roche (1890-1959)
