Description
Harold Clayton,
British 1896-1979-
Still life of primroses, morning glory, and roses in a vase;
oil on canvas, signed 'Harold Clayton' (lower left), 45.7 x 50.8 cm. ARR.
Provenance:
with Richard Green, London, no.RH1229.
Private Collection.
Note:
The present work is a particularly charming example of Clayton's oeuvre, depicting an abundant bouquet of flowers in a low vase. The artist is notable for his highly detailed approach, with his sensitive brushstrokes confidently evoking the delicacy of the flowers and their foliage with a striking realism. His use of a vibrant colour palette here - and indeed in his floral compositions generally - emphasises the rich bounty and beauty of the flowers, especially when set against a plain background.
