Signed "Paul Buyssens" on the reverse of the painting.
A poetic still life depicting a bouquet of sunflowers arranged in a simple ceramic vase. Painted in a warm and restrained palette of ochre, muted yellow, olive green and earthy brown, the composition is distinguished by its soft atmosphere and expressive handling of paint.
Rather than emphasizing botanical detail, the artist captures the fading beauty of the flowers through loose, spontaneous brushwork and subtle variations of light. The softly modelled vase anchors the composition, while the dark, tonal background gives the bouquet a quiet luminosity. With its intimate character and understated palette, the work reflects the modernist approach to still-life painting that developed during the first half of the 20th century.
