If Redouté was the greatest watercolorist of flowers of the first half of the 19th century, Blanche Odin  is the largest of the first half of the 20th century. If, of course, it is her roses that have assured so well  her reputation, she excelled in representations of all kinds of flowers as  you can be seen in the excellent works of Monique Pujo-Monfran or visiting the museum Salies de Bagneres de Bigorre.
Here, red roses assembled into a bouquet provided in a decorated ceramic vase, a transparent cup at its side to moisten the petals. Presented on a blue fabrics decorated with gold, this majestic bouquet is also served by an unusual format.
