Price range: (5 000 zł - 10 000 zł)
Beautiful but seemingly gloomy work. Proper lighting shows the unusual beauty of the flowers directly with their many colors. The dark background and black vase perfectly contrast with different shades of several species of chrysanthemums. The golden flower globes, lilac pinnate chrysanthemums and white and red small-leaved chrysanthemums create a wonderful composition. The signature is placed in the lower right corner, "Faure 21." The canvas and painting are in good condition.
