Finely rendered floral still life posey with cherries, grapes and wheat, all bound with a blue ribbon. Signed lower left. Polish artist Stanislas Kostka was trained in the conservation of paintings as well as in the preparatory style of the Old Masters.

Kostka includes in this fancy “flowers of the imagination” – fictions that extend the color range and shape of his compositions. Overall size: 20 x 18 1/2 in. Sight size: 9 1/2 x 17 1/2 in.
