Rose Study is an oil on canvas panel measuring 8″x10″.
A painter often refers to a painting as a study if they are doing the piece to prepare for a larger piece. This is often the case with plein air painting when an artist will paint a scene on location and then go back to the studio and paint a much larger piece.
Or maybe they paint a study as a warm-up to a more detailed piece. They could be testing colors or shapes. Or it could just be a practice as it was in this case.
