Flower Market, Victor Louis Cuguen (1882–1966)

Flower Market – Oil on panel signed V. Cuguen

A charming oil painting on wood depicting a flower market, bustling with numerous figures and bountiful flower stalls.

The scene, rendered with a lively, thick, and very colorful brushstroke, dynamically captures the atmosphere of an open-air market. Bouquets of flowers in shades of yellow, pink, red, and white fill the foreground, while several elegantly dressed figures stand out beneath the market’s large parasols.

The work features a particularly decorative style, with a generous and expressive application of paint that gives the flowers and figures great depth.
