Catalogue Note

This composition presents a densely animated bouquet of peach-toned blossoms interwoven with lavender sprays, green foliage, and berry-like accents, arranged within a blue-decorated ceramic vessel. The square format reinforces a sense of visual containment, against which the energetic brushwork unfolds in layered chromatic passages.

The handling of paint reveals a deliberate negotiation between fluid watercolour diffusion and controlled ink articulation. The resulting surface oscillates between softness and precision, lending the floral arrangement both immediacy and decorative refinement.

The inclusion of a blue-glazed vessel evokes historical associations with classical Chinese porcelain, situating the work within a lineage of still-life imagery in which natural and crafted beauty are held in visual balance.

The work remains in very good condition, with no visible restoration and stable paper support. Provenance: documentation can be provided upon request.
