Superb painting of roses in spring, roses in buds, blooming roses...
The artist has endeavored here to offer us roses in the middle of nature, on the spot, as in the garden.
The pastel tones of the sky wonderfully underline the delicacy of the colors of the flowers.
It is a very fine oil on canvas, an oil on silk?
Total diameter with the frame: 48.5 cm
