Brief naast een vaas met roos 1856 - 1897

"Brief naast een vaas met roos" is a delicate lithograph by Henri-Charles Guérard. The artwork depicts a single pale yellow rose in a glass vase, alongside a folded letter. The simplicity of the composition and the muted palette create a sense of tranquility, highlighting the beauty of everyday objects. Guérard, known for his still life and landscape paintings, masterfully captured the subtle nuances of light and form in this piece, reflecting the artistic trends of late 19th-century Dutch realism. The print, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Guérard's talent for conveying a sense of intimacy and quiet observation.
