The National Gallery has a new range - art history themed floral bouquets. Above is the 'Gainsborough Bouquet', which is yours for £30, and is inspired by the National Gallery's Mrs & Mrs Andrews by Gainsborough. Says the NG's website:
Depicting the couple on the English countryside estate, the accentuated colours of the blue in Mrs Andrews dress and the stormy skies contrast with the fresh green of the fields. The colours are replicated in this splendid bouquet with deep blue Agapanthus and pale blue Eryngium against a perfect backdrop of fresh yellow Roses and wispy sprays of Solidaster.
