Full Description
This exquisite English School oil on board still life painting captures a carefully arranged selection of garden flowers in remarkable detail and naturalistic beauty. Each bloom is rendered with confident brushwork and close botanical observation, from the softly layered petals to the subtle water droplets resting delicately on the rose surfaces, creating a sense of freshness and vitality.
The artist’s sensitive handling of light and colour brings depth and realism to the composition, with gentle tonal transitions that enhance the three-dimensional quality of the flowers. The result is a calm yet richly engaging still life, characteristic of late nineteenth-century English School floral painting.
The painting is housed in an ornate gilt frame of notable quality, featuring carved thistle motifs at each corner, leafy scroll ornamentation, and reeded borders framing a smooth central surround. The frame adds both architectural presence and decorative richness, elevating the artwork as a complete period piece ready for display.
Dating to the late 1800s, this painting reflects the craftsmanship, technical discipline, and aesthetic refinement associated with English School still life artists of the era. It would make an excellent addition to a traditional interior, gallery wall, or antique art collection, offering enduring elegance and historic charm.
