A beautifully expressive mid-century floral still life by French painter Michel de Alvis, depicting a loose arrangement of anemones in a small glass vase. Painted with confident, gestural brushwork, the blooms unfold in soft blush, deep violet, and vibrant red, their dark centres anchoring the composition with striking contrast. The restrained, pale background enhances the luminosity of the colours, while the richly textured paint surface adds depth and tactility.
Presented in its original gilt frame, which perfectly complements the warmth and vitality of the painting, this is a stunning example of Alvis’s sought-after floral works.
