About the piece

Created between 1916 and 1917, this still life by Othon Friesz showcases the bold, gestural brushwork and rich palette of French modernism. The composition masterfully balances the metallic sheen of a coffee urn with the delicate textures of flowers and the warm, golden hues of brioches on a striking blue plate, resulting in a piece that is both energetic and sophisticated.
