In the early 1930s Madame Cuttoli asked Georges Rouault to work on a series of floral still lifes which she intended to use as cartoons for tapestries. Approximately thirty canvases were painted by the artist and about ten tapestries were woven by the Aubusson craftsmen between 1930 and 1937.
The artist executed this series of Fleurs décoratives using a bright palette and framing the composition with important borders in respect to the traditional style of tapestries.
