About the piece

Painted around 1800 by the celebrated French still-life painter Anne Vallayer-Coster, this oil on canvas captures a delicate floral arrangement with remarkable precision. The composition features soft pink roses and bright yellow primroses in a simple glass, showcasing the artist's mastery of light and texture, particularly in the transparency of the water and the fragile petals.
