DescriptionWhen Koch was conscripted in 1943, he thought he might never return to his bride and his career as a painter. Consequently, he worked feverishly to complete "The Florist", which he hoped would establish his fame and also serve as a looming tribute to his wife, whom he portrayed surrounded by beautiful flowers.On View
