Description
A profusion of roses, carnations, lilies, and delicate blooms spill from a decorative porcelain vase painted with blue and gilt ornament, set against a nearly black ground that makes each petal glow with luminous intensity. The composition captures flowers at various stages of bloom, from tightly furled buds to full, open faces, arranged with the studied naturalism and rich color variation characteristic of eighteenth-century floral still life. Precision-cut from thick, satin-finish paperboard and made to order, in 500 or 1,000 pieces. An afternoon spent building an independent artist's work.
