Mid-20th Century - Antique Floral Still Life Oil Painting
This French oil painting, dating from around 1940, presents a lush bouquet of lilacs arranged in a classical dark vase. Set against a subdued interior background, the delicate purples and pinks of the blossoms are emphasised through skilful contrasts of light and shadow. The composition reflects the enduring French tradition of floral still lifes, prized for their decorative appeal and technical precision. While rooted in academic realism, the looser brushwork suggests an early to mid 20th-century hand with a modern sensibility. Framed in an ornate gilt surround, the piece conveys both elegance and freshness, celebrating the timeless beauty of flowers in bloom.
