Pair of floral still lifes

Pairs of oval floral still lifes from the mid-19th century on canvas mounted on panel in beautiful gilded frames. A charming pair of floral still lifes featuring bouquets composed of roses, dahlias, daisies, and garden flowers, arranged against a dark background that highlights the delicacy of the colours and the shape of the petals. The execution, refined and decorative, is in the tradition of flower paintings from the 18th and 19th centuries. The soft palette, dominated by powdery pinks, ivory whites, and bright yellows, gives the whole a stylish and intimate atmosphere. Note the minor wear on the paint layer consistent with the age of the paintings. (There are small losses on the edges of the frames.).
