Catalogue Note
"Le sujet le plus banal, quelques fleurs dans un vase par exemple, devient nouveau par la façon dont les lumières y sont groupées et par l'extrème variété des valeurs. (...) Pour donner plus de richesse à ses compositions, l'auteur [Laure Albin Guillot] les a tirées sur fond or selon un procédé dont elle a le brevet."
