<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Debora, post: 4415414, member: 1476&quot;]Ben, it&#039;s properly called a still life and yours is based on the type of secular Baroque paintings that were commissioned by the Dutch bourgeoise.&nbsp; Designed to show off the artist&#039;s technique with lots of surfaces and reflections.&nbsp; Typically, they include moths and other insects which have symbolic meaning but, of what, no one is quite in agreement.&nbsp; Perhaps the transitory nature of life.&nbsp; The arrangements themselves are fantasies as not all the flowers found in these still lifes can be found in bloom at the same time.&nbsp; As there is no information to be found on the internet about a Chinese artist named S.H. Lee (except a few auction records,) I suspect he is an invention and yours is not fine art but rather a decorative painting created to enhance a decor.&nbsp; It would be valued accordingly.&nbsp; Here&#039;s a genuine period painting from The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston for comparison.</p><p><br /></p><p>Debora</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]375649[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
