Still life with a vase, signed Antonio Ballester Ruiz, Valencian School, 20th century - Oil on canvas, Dimensions: 83 x 66 cm and 106 x 89 cm. The painting depicts a vase with a bountiful bouquet of pink roses and yellow chrysanthemums, set against a neutral background that highlights the chromatic intensity of the petals. The pasty brushwork and the use of light contrasts lend expressive richness to the work. The artist combines naturalism and an ornamental sense, following the tradition of the 20th-century Valencian floral still life, with a marked decorative intention and a remarkable artistic sensibility.
