Antique Impressionist Floral Still Life Oil Painting | Gold Frame

A beautiful large French floral still life dating from circa 1920 by the Paris Salon regular exhibitor, Suzanne Maillart-Marion (1877–1960). A colourful arrangement of garden flowers fills a decorative ceramic vase, with delicate blue irises rising above lush pink, crimson and white blossoms. An apple resting on a small plate adds a charming detail to the composition. Measuring approximately 34 inches tall including its antique gilt frame, this is a wonderfully expressive painting with a strong decorative presence.

The painting is particularly appealing for its rich colour combinations. Brilliant reds, delicate pinks and cool blues stand out against the earthy green and brown background, while the golden-yellow tabletop adds a beautiful sense of warmth.

Good antique condition, recently cleaned and professionally revarnished. The antique gilt frame retains a beautiful historic patina, with expected rubbing, marks and areas of wear to the gilded finish.

Suzanne Maillart-Marion (1877–1960)
Suzanne Maillart-Marion was a French painter and portraitist born on 1877 in Rueil, near Paris. She studied under the celebrated academic painter Diogène Maillart (1840–1926), whose prestigious drawing and painting classes in Montparnasse attracted many aspiring artists. She also received instruction from the painter Émile Renard. Recognising her talent, Diogène Maillart selected Suzanne in 1899 as one of three students to assist him in Rome, preparing a large panoramic drawing of the city for the Exposition Universelle of 1900 in Paris. She subsequently established a professional career in Paris, exhibiting regularly at the prestigious Salon des Artistes Français. Although particularly admired for her portraits and pastels, her work also included floral still lifes and landscapes. Her artistic achievements were recognised with several distinctions, including the Nathaniel de Rothschild Foundation Prize in 1927 and 1932, and the Alfred Moreau Foundation Prize in 1928 and 1935. Following the death of her husband, Roger Maillart, in 1915, Suzanne supported her family through her painting and teaching. From 1919, she taught drawing at the Collège Sainte-Croix in Neuilly while continuing to exhibit and accept portrait commissions.
