This framed work, a watercolour on paper laid on board and signed by Jean Dufy (French, 1888-1964) features his trademark knack for working with colour and his masterful and bold distributions of light. The patchworks of colourful squares render vibrantly the arrangement of flowers and candle stand in a still-life painting of the two subjects. This work is characteristic of his earlier work in which his more renowned paintings features bouquets of flowers and hints of the vivacious and lively Parisian cultural street scene. This piece is framed with the signature of the artist on the lower left corner; on verso, there are pencil inscriptions of his name, date of birth and death, and his nationality.
