This antique floral still life painting depicts an elegant vase of spring flowers, likely hydrangeas or viburnum blossoms,
traditionally known as Snowball flowers. The antique artwork, executed in oil on canvas, portrays a refined bouquet of cut
flowers arranged in a vase, featuring a harmonious composition of white and red flowers, resting on a surface draped
with a warm-toned cloth.

use of light, enhancing floral volumes and creating a delicate contrast against the neutral background. European Impressionism.

and everyday life landscapes.

at the Salon des Artistes Français from 1893 to at least 1920.
After spending approximately sixteen years in Algeria, Mouton returned to France in 1908, resuming regular exhibitions and receiving
notable recognition, including a silver medal in 1910 at the Salon des Artistes Français.
