Pierre Leriche
Pierre Leriche, also spelled Le Riche (c.1760–1811), was a French flower and still-life painter. His bouquets, often arranged in vases or on stone ledges, show careful structure, rich colour and delicate botanical detail. Rooted in late eighteenth-century French taste, his work combines decorative elegance with the precision inherited from Dutch floral painting.
