Flowers in a Vase by Henri Rousseau Canvas Print

Flowers in a Vase by Henri Rousseau Canvas PrintFor a living room full of curves, this still life brings the check. Henri Rousseau painted it in 1910, and the bouquet still does the heavy lifting pink peonies, white daisies, striped tulips and a spray of yellow mimosa, all standing tall against a deep green curtain. Hang it where you already have soft furniture and warm wood, and the room gets a focal point without anyone shouting. Above a sideboard, a console or the head of a bed works best. Pair
