Natură statică cu crizanteme și carte is a 1936 by Francisc Șirato, held at Colecție particulară - Elveția.
This print shows two bright yellow chrysanthemums in a simple vase on a wooden table. Sunlight hits the petals and casts soft shadows on the wall behind them. The background is plain, so the flowers stand out right away. This kind of image was more common in painting than in prints in the 1930s. You can almost feel the quiet of the room—no people, no movement, just the flowers and light. The artist often worked in a calm, careful way. If this style reminds you of quiet still-life scenes, look up Șirato, Francisc.
Francisc Şirato (15 August 1877 — 4 August 1953) was a Romanian painter, graphic artist, art critic, and designer.
