Against a sketchy background with an exquisite variety of green tones stands a floral arrangement of purple and white lilac with its small, delicate blossoms and characteristic leaves. In front of it, somewhat in the shade, a basket with many pansies completes the composition.

Furcy de Lavault was a French painter who devoted himself primarily to still lifes of flowers, animals and fruit. The fast and free brushwork reveals Impressionist influences, while the didactic composition suggests a traditional training. The color palette remains true to nature with its bright colors and gentle play of light and dark. (1421187) (1) (10))
