A serene and beautifully rendered French floral still life depicting a generous spray of white azaleas laid against a cool blue-grey ground, painted with a refined, luminous touch. The cool palette and soft naturalistic light give the composition an elegant restraint that feels timeless rather than decorative. Set in an ornate distressed gold frame with a beaded inner border, it is a companion piece to the pink azalea still life and equally at home on its own.
