Flower still life – Daniel Been (1885–1967)

Flower still life by Daniël Been (1885–1967), executed in oil on canvas and signed lower left. The work depicts a bouquet of flowers in soft pink and white tones, set against a muted background. The composition is closed and balanced, with a clear focus on form and volume.

The brushwork is visible and controlled, with attention to texture in the petals and the chlorophyll. The use of color is restrained, which contributes to the calm composition of the picture plane. The composition aligns with the tradition of Dutch still life painting from the first half of the twentieth century.

The painting is stretched on a wooden stretcher and features a richly ornamented, gilded frame from the period. On the back is a label from Kunsthandel Gebroeders Koch in Rotterdam, documenting the historical context of the sale. The canvas is in good, original condition, with minor signs of wear consistent with age and use.
