The Mariette Still Life

An antique still life of chrysanthemums in soft blush, ochre, and deep russet tones. The darker ground gives it a moody depth, while the flowers bring an easy warmth and lightness.

Signed at the base and set in a period frame with natural age and patina. Small paintings like this are genuinely hard to find, and they have a way of finishing a space quietly and thoughtfully. The scale is ideal for those subtle placements — slightly off-center above a bed, or near the bedside — where small art feels the most personal.

This piece has a sister, The Édeline, painted by the same artist and originally kept together as a set. They sit beautifully side by side, though each also stands on its own.
