Flowers in a Vase 1869

O.D. Ottesen’s "Flowers in a Vase" is a still life oil painting completed in 1869. The artist was known for his masterful depictions of floral arrangements, and this piece is a prime example. The painting features a vase filled with a vibrant array of blooms, including roses, tulips, and lilacs, all rendered with meticulous detail. The inclusion of a small sparrow perched on the tabletop adds a touch of whimsy and naturalism to the composition. This work is a testament to Ottesen’s skill and the beauty of the natural world.
