Hidden within the scene are subtle details—a dragonfly, a snail, and a ladybug—adding layers of intrigue to the composition. The artist's exceptional skill is evident in the reflection of light on the stems of the cut flowers, creating an almost photographic illusion that draws the viewer into the scene. Framed in a newly added, deeply profiled frame with a silver filet, the painting takes on a sculptural presence, enhancing its three-dimensional effect. Trompe l’oeil, or “deceive the eye,” is an artistic technique that plays with perception, making this work a perfect example of its stunning realism. Ideal for adding a touch of nature and artistic finesse to any room, this piece blends beauty with meticulous craftsmanship. Signed illegibly in the LR., dated '96. less
