Year: 19th Century Size: 30.3" x 25.9" / 77cm x 66cm Medium: Oil Description: French Fine Art: French school of the 20th-century oil on canvas signed Édith Honorée Henriette Yvonne Faucon (1919-2019). Large-scale painting. The canvas has a few thicknesses on the flower petals and on certain decorative elements. The work gives off a bright, scintillating light in harmony with the complexity of the composition. The depth is total with subtle perspectives and shadows used with great restraint. The artist's talent lies here in the illusion of simplicity, each flower and object is worked with measured, balanced, subtly nuanced brushstrokes. Each color fulfills a function that unites the whole. Each space is filled with realism, by its colors, gradients, reflections, shadows, and its emptiness. A controlled anarchy is revealed to us through the bouquet, Faucon offers her vision full of freshness and poetry of the balance between decor and nature. Overall size: 30.3" x 25.9" / 77cm x 66cm. Size without the frame: 24.4" x 20" / 62cm x 51cm. Provenance: France
