20TH CENTURY IMPASTO STILL-LIFE PAINTING 'ROSES IN A VASE' BY MONIQUE FERBER

A richly textured 20th Century impasto oil on canvas depicting a bouquet of soft pink and peach roses arranged in a blue and white vase, set against a muted grey ground.

Executed with confident palette-knife technique, the composition displays Ferber’s expressive handling of paint and her sensitivity to colour and texture. Signed lower right 'M. Ferber'. Presented in a giltwood frame. 

 Monique Ferber was born in Neuilly in 1925 and later lived on Réunion Island, where she developed her painting practice while travelling extensively. Coming from a distinguished artistic family, she was the granddaughter of the celebrated French painter and engraver Albert Besnard. Ferber eventually settled in Aigues-Vives, France, where she continued painting throughout her later life. Inscribed verso “11 Roses” and “M. Ferber”.
