Bernard de Hoog, Still Life With Roses

Bernard de Hoog, Still Life With RosesThis delicate early 20th century still life by Dutch artist Bernard de Hoog (1867 1943) depicts two roses within a glass vase. This charming little piece displays De Hoogs mastery of light. The complex curls of petals are confidently rendered with fairly broad brushstrokes, which bring life and character. He probably worked quickly with signs of De Hoogs thinking visible through pentimento, the presence of earlier ideas. The vase (perhaps a creamer)
