One of your most enigmatic and modern painting, Julian. So poetic. The mysterious reflection in the bowl reminds me of Rembrandt, I do not know exactly why, but perhaps because of the reminiscence of a helmeted figure (a soldier?) of the Renaissance, looking through a window and musing... A masterpiece thanks to its deceptive and disarming simplicity.

Julian: I just love the simplicity of the bowl. A highlight on the edge of the rim, the reflection of images on the bowl itself which is barely visable against the dark background. So masterfully handled in contrast to the warmth and detail of the peony.

Wow, Alain, you're so right! I see the helmeted figure. That part of the painting does remind one of Rembrandt.
