"Bouquet of Flowers" is a striking example of Naïve art (primitivism) by the acclaimed post-impressionist, Henri Julien Félix Rousseau. Renowned for his position as a toll collector, also humorously referred to as Le Douanier, Rousseau embarked on his painting career in his early forties. His painting is an enchanting flower painting created in his familiar, distinctive style. Using oil on a canvas, Rousseau crafted a vibrant and vivid bouquet that is simple yet captivating, an iconic testament to his commitment to art in his later years.
