He always wanted sculpted and gilded frames around his flower compositions. His style is characterized by cold light, isolated flowers and a severe construction of the flower arrangement on two different levels: a first level close to the vase with a concentration of flowers, the second level more 'airy' with isolated flowers far from the centre. ## Related artworks - [Still-Life of Flowers in a Bronze Vase]() - [Still-Life with Flowers]() - [Vase of Flowers on a Chipboard Box]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
