A sumptuous still life with gladioli, a jug and apples by Belgian artist, Frederic Van der Linden (1852-1926). This masterful composition creates an explosion of colour, which arises in the shape of an upturned pyramid. The stems fill the top half of the canvas and extend into the upper corners.

Frederic Van der Linden trained at the Fine Art Academy in Mons and his work tends to feel impressionistic in style.

The painting is signed in the lower right and housed within a good later frame.
