It is a pleasant still life depicting a bouquet of various colored flowers with Dahlias and Chrysanthemums recently picked and ready to be elegantly arranged in an elegant decorated ceramic vase.

He received many medals during his career: one in 1889, a bronze medal in 1900 and, finally, receives another recognition in 1904. The painter devoted himself mainly to flower painting.
Many of his paintings are exhibited in various French museums such as the Museum of Louviers and the Museum of Rouen.
