Pink Azalea Still Life in Gold Frame, France, 1890s

A lush and intimate French floral still life depicting a spray of pink azaleas laid against a dark ground, painted with a soft, naturalistic touch characteristic of late 19th century academic flower painting. The blooms range from blush to deep rose, their delicate petals rendered with careful attention to light and shadow. Set in an ornate distressed gold frame with a beaded inner border, it brings a romantic, collected quality to any wall.
