This lot consists of an original oil on canvas painting signed in cyrillic 'Julius (Yuli) Klever, Jr.', (1882 - 1942) Russian Federation. The son of celebrated artist Julius Klever (Sr.), Klever achieved recognition in his own right as a skilled painter, and this bowl of red, yellow and pink roses is an iconic example of his still life flowers. Muted browns and broad broad brushstrokes define his backgrounds, while his roses are defined with some contrasting fine highlights with strong impasto flourishes. The colored roses leap from the composition. Klever studied with his illustrious father and was well exhibited, starting in the 1905 and following. He also taught art in St. Petersburg. He died during the siege of Leningrad in 1942.
