Oil on canvas, framed. Featuring a flower still life. Attr. Raoul Maucherat de Longpre (French, 1855–1911). De Longpré painted only perfect specimens of flowers. With a delicacy of touch and feeling for color he united scientific knowledge and art. He also knew how to give expression to the subtle essence of the flowers. Painting floral scenes almost exclusively in watercolors, in the 1900s de Longpre found inspiration in the 4,000 rose bushes he planted on his Hollywood estate. The finest of his paintings include "Double Peach Blossoms" and "White Fringed Poppies" (1902) — both widely known through popular reproductions. PROVENANCE: Tane Art Gallery (North York, Ontario) 74 x 62 cm (29 x 24 inches), framed: 108 x 91 cm (42.5 x 35.8 inches)
