Botanical composition with blue thistles – framed old gouache

Elegant antique botanical composition featuring thistles in shades of blue, grey-green, and ochre. The work is executed on paper, probably in gouache and watercolour, showcasing a beautiful play of texture and transparency. A few small insects punctuate the composition. Presented under glass in its original moulded wooden frame, with an original blue mount that nicely highlights the nuances of the piece. In good vintage condition, with traces and slight marks of time visible in the photographs.
