Description

This beautiful mid-20th-century oil painting by Dutch artist Kees Terlouw (1890-1948) depicts an abundant arrangement of red, white and pink roses set within a vase.

Vividly filling the centre of the canvas, the roses radiate in bloom. Their rich tones contrast with the gentle transparency of glass.

Signed lower right and held within a decorative frame.
