Pastel still life of iris and carnations

This old pastel represents a large bouquet filled with irises and carnations. Is its author an amateur painter. (the signature may be under the frame). The certainty we have is that this one lacked neither talent nor poetry. Indeed, he managed to capture the essence of these flowers in a unique way. Each petal seems to carry its own shade. We love this absence of symmetry to which he preferred a free and organic arrangement. The mastery of colors is also striking. The atmosphere he was able to create and the emotion he provokes reinforces our idea that this amateur painter was a true artist. The painting is in very good condition since it is framed and protected by a glass window. The frame bears traces of time passed but this in no way interferes with the visual rendering of the whole.
