A Florist is a 1790 paint by Puqua, a company_painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
You see a florist in a shop filled with colorful flowers. Light comes in from the side, making the petals look almost real. He holds a bunch of flowers while a customer points at a bunch behind the counter. These paintings were part of a set of 100 showing different trades in Canton. Europeans bought them to learn about daily life in China. Puqua used bright colors to make the scene feel alive. Look up Puqua to see more of his work.
