About the piece

Painted in 1882, 'Un Jour de Fête' (A Festival Day) showcases Georges Jeannin's mastery of the floral still life genre. The composition centers on a dignified bronze bust nestled within a towering abundance of blossoms, creating a striking contrast between the enduring cold metal and the ephemeral beauty of the flowers. The deep, moody palette and rich velvet textures lend the work a sense of Victorian opulence and mystery.
