William Henry Hunt, Still Life With Primroses. c. 1858-60
Still Life With Primroses
Watercolor, bodycolor, and gum arabic
19½ x 17½, 49 x 45cm
Provenance:
On the Brave website (English dealer), October 2023.
This is one of the largest still lifes by Hunt. It is also one of his most natural, artless, compositions, i.e. the flowers are randomly placed rather than being painted in a balanced fashion. As a result the upper portion of the picture is rather empty, consisting merely of the dirt-bank background.
