Lot description

José Mongrell, Spanish 1870-1937- Still life with white, purple, and orange chrysanthemums in a basket; oil on canvas, signed 'J. Mongrell' (lower left), 50 x 65.2 cm. Provenance: with Leighton Fine Art, UK. where purchased by the current owner. Note: Mongrell worked in the studio of Joaquín Sorolla (1863-1923) in Madrid, and his bright, Impressionistic paintings, often in seaside settings, clearly exhibit Sorolla's influence. The vibrant flowers here recall those in Mongrell's portrait 'A woman by a vase of chrysanthemums', which sold at Sotheby's, London, on 1 June 1989, lot 600 (£35,200).
