This enchanting watercolour painting captures the vibrant splendour of a basket filled with purple violets. The flowers, with their deep, velvety hues and radiant yellow hearts, seem to burst into playful and spontaneous profusion. The loose, impressionistic brushstrokes give the violets an airy and vibrant look, as if they have just been picked and still carry the freshness of nature.
The basket, partly faded white and subtly framed by warm ochre and gold tones, forms a soft background for the floral splendour. The watercolour technique allows colours to blend into each other in a dreamy way, giving the work an almost ethereal light.
Shadows in cool shades of blue bring balance and depth to the composition, while a few petals that have fallen out in the foreground suggest a touch of transience. This painting exudes warmth, tenderness and a nostalgic sense of spring and simplicity.
