Still Life Bouquet Of Roses - Pastel By Gaston Albert Lavrillier - Circa 1930

A delightful floral still life by Gaston Albert Lavrillier (1885-1958), depicting a sumptuous bouquet of roses in soft, vibrant colors (pink, red, yellow, white), arranged in an elegant glass vase. The artist, known for his refined sense of rendering and mastery of the play of light, delicately captures the velvety texture of the petals and the subtle color gradations. The contrast between the softness of the flowers and the dark background enhances the composition and gives the work its depth. Gaston Albert Lavrillier (1885-1958) was a French artist primarily known as a sculptor and medalist, but he also excelled in drawing and pastel. Trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, he won the Grand Prix de Rome for engraving and exhibited regularly at the Salon des Artistes Français. His work demonstrates an attention to detail and a pronounced taste for classical elegance and finesse of execution, qualities that can be found in this delicate bouquet of roses. This work is painted in pastel, a demanding technique that gives the scene a unique luminosity and chromatic richness. It is presented in a magnificent antique Montparnasse frame, in carved and gilded wood, which perfectly highlights this delicate and elegant pastel. Dimensions: 46/38 cm
