It is truly a joy to admire this magnificent bouquet of flowers particularly rich in botanical species, with a great variety of colors and pictorial refinements.
The exuberant floral composition, placed in a richly decorated Medici vase, is truly superb, while maintaining a rigidly schematic setting of sober elegance.
In fact, the asymmetrical dictates of the Rococo have now been overcome, here the Prevost exhibits the great variety of flowers with an image typical of the Louis XVI period.

His exquisite paintings were highly sought after in the second half of the eighteenth century.
