Rudolf Ernst's "The Flower Merchant" depicts a scene of everyday life in the Middle East. A flower vendor offers a bouquet of roses to a woman standing in a doorway, while behind him, a basket overflowing with flowers hints at his livelihood. Ernst, known for his detailed depictions of Orientalist scenes, creates a visually captivating composition filled with rich colors and intricate details, offering a glimpse into the vibrant culture of the region.
