Description
THE CIRCLE OR STUDIO OF PIERRE AUGUSTE RENOIR (1841–1919) Bouquet of roses in a earthenware vase and a cut rose on the mantelpiece Sketch, oil on mounted canvas. This delicate still life centres on a white porcelain vase with soft golden highlights. It holds a bouquet of fully bloomed roses, dominated at the centre by a large rose of a pearly cream-white hue. In the foreground, resting directly on the wooden table, a cut rose lies on its side, adding a touch of melancholic poetry to the composition. The neutral background, painted with fluid, nuanced brushstrokes in a monochrome palette of greys, soft purples and ochre, envelops the bouquet in a dreamlike atmosphere. Condition: As is. Unsigned study. Studio pin holes clearly visible in the upper corners. Slight peripheral rubbing; a small area of cardboard missing from the top right-hand corner. Dimensions: 53.5 x 36 cm.
