This beautiful 19th-century still life with roses is admirable in its gentle portrayal and subtle brushwork. It’s attributed to Danish artist, Adamine Sindberg (1840-1919), who specialised in flower painting.

Interestingly, the flowers are set against a dark background, a technique often employed by the Dutch masters, yet the flowers retain their delicacy despite the increase in contrast.

The painting is inscribed on the reverse and housed within a later frame.
