Original floral still life painting on canvas by Rachel Thompson, depicting a colorful arrangement of lilies and calla lilies in a vase. Signed “R. Thompson” lower left and presented in an ornate gilt-tone frame.<br> <br> This item is in good pre-owned, previously displayed condition with light wear, noticeable imperfections, and surface scratches/markings. Please refer to all photos for full details.<br> <br> Frame: 31" x 37" x 2". Weight: 14.5 lbs.<br> <br> This item is originally from the collection of liquor icon Michel Roux. One of Mr. Roux’s signature spirits at Crillon was absinthe, the anise-flavored spirit known for its popularity among 19th-century artists like van Gogh and Toulouse-Lautrec. It was banned by the United States in 1912 amid concerns that wormwood, one if its ingredients, which contained thujone, caused hallucinations. In 2000, Mr. Roux introduced a legal absinthe, Absente, which used a sister botanical, Southern wormwood, with only trace amounts of thujone.
