Jules-Georges Pascal (French, 19th Century) Vase of Chrysanthemums on an Entablature, 1898 Oil on canvas, signed and dated This late 19th-century French still life by Jules‑Georges Pascal depicts a generously arranged bouquet of chrysanthemums in a ceramic vase placed upon a stone entablature. Signed and dated 1898, the work reflects the enduring academic interest in floral subjects during the Belle Époque. The composition is structured yet naturalistic: pale and rust-toned blooms are arranged in a pyramidal form against a dark ground, creating strong tonal contrast and depth. The modelling of the petals and the subtle variation of whites, creams, and warm reds demonstrate careful studio technique typical of French decorative still life painting of the period. The celadon-toned vase, with low-relief ornament, introduces an additional decorative note, enhancing the painting’s suitability for both classical and transitional interiors. Condition The canvas presents two small old repairs and minor losses and craqueleur to the paint layer. These age-related issues are stable and do not affect the decorative quality of the work.
