Description

This richly composed mid-century still life depicts a generous autumn bouquet arranged in a black pedestal bowl on a softly reflective tabletop. Three chrysanthemum-like blooms in warm apricot and golden tones form the focal point, surrounded by pale yellow roses, small pink daisy-like blossoms, and clustered blue flowers. Sweeping foliage in shades of sage, lemon, and russet extends outward, lending movement and naturalistic balance to the arrangement.
The background is rendered in blended olive, cream, and muted pastel tones, creating atmospheric depth while allowing the vibrant florals to dominate the composition. Nikolokov’s controlled brushwork and light impasto in the blossoms provide texture and dimensionality, contrasting with the smoother handling of the ground and table surface.
The painting is presented in an elaborate carved wood frame with gilt finish and scrolling foliate ornament, complementing the traditional decorative character of the work. A refined example of mid-20th-century floral painting with strong interior design appeal.
