Klassen Floral Still Life Oil on Canvas - An impressionistic oil painting on stretched canvas featuring an abundant floral arrangement in a dark green pedestal vase. The bouquet is composed of roses in shades of crimson, pink, and cream, punctuated by deep blue irises and green foliage. The background is a tonal, dark reddish-brown. The artist has employed a heavy impasto technique, particularly on the flower petals, creating a textured surface. The painting is signed in red script in the lower right corner Klassen. The work is presented in an ornate gilded wood frame with scrolled acanthus leaf motifs, a white linen liner, and a black painted outer edge. A white adhesive label on the brown paper backing reads TITUS GALLERY & FRAMERS 1106 CLINTON ST. DES MOINES, IA 50315 (515) 244-8848. A white paper tag attached to the hanging wire is inscribed 26.5 x 30.5. 26.5 x 30.5 inches (overall framed).
