Pulst August (1889 – 1977). Five Roses (1976)

Pulst August’s “Five Roses” (1976) is a magnificent oil on plywood painting that measures 26.3 x 34.5 cm. Signed by the artist in the lower right corner, this piece is a true representation of his unique style, developed under the guidance of renowned artists like V. Purvitis, V. Tillbergs, and B. Borchert at the Riga Art School between 1911 and 1915. With a career that spanned various disciplines including theatre decoration and folklore collection, August’s artistic portfolio majorly consists of landscapes, flowers, and views of old towns, often imbued with an ethnographic touch. “Five Roses” stands as a testament to his artistic brilliance and attention to detail.
