Pink cabbage roses, a flamed red tulip, blue iris and hyacinth, deep maroon auriculas, bleeding hearts, lily of the valley, laburnum, and apple blossom spill from the vase and across the ledge below. It is a composite bouquet in the old Dutch manner, flowers of different seasons gathered in a single arrangement, a genre revived across nineteenth century Europe and painted here with real attention to the cameo urn and the cool Northern palette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Artist | Unidentified\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Signature | Unsigned\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Medium | Oil on canvas\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Subject | Composite floral still life, flowers in a neoclassical porcelain urn with cameo medallion\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Origin | Continental European, unattributed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Age | 19th century\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Canvas Size | 16.9 in.

The composite or \"impossible\" bouquet, gathering flowers that bloom in different seasons into one arrangement, began with seventeenth century Dutch and Flemish painters and was revived widely across nineteenth century Europe for a growing decorative market. The dark ground and the classical urn as a compositional anchor are hallmarks of the nineteenth century revival rather than the earlier originals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Support | Canvas on keyed wooden stretcher\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[condition]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWidespread fine craquelure across the paint surface, most visible in the dark background passages and consistent with an aged oil film. Stretcher bar creases are present in the canvas. The reverse shows brown staining and some paint bleed through, consistent with an older oil primed canvas. The gilt wood frame carries a distressed finish with light wear to the gilding on all rails, and shows historical, non active insect damage to the moulding. Overall condition is good for the age.
