NOTE
Painting both in Paris and in Normandy, Georges Binet captured scenes of modern, everyday life. Flower Market combines bright blooms and a sense of urban bustle for a dynamic and highly evocative composition. The beauty of the flowers on tantalizing offer, as well as of the seller carefully tending to her charges and the smartly-dressed shoppers beyond, draws the eye into this compelling composition.
A smaller version was included in the exhibition George S Binet, Musée Eugène Boudin, Honfleur, April 24 to June 21 1999, no. 33, (illustrated p. 21) and titled "Le Havre, Marché aux fleurs, Place Gambetta".
