Beautiful Vintage French Floral Still Life

This framed French large floral painting is a very pretty example.

Despite there being some damage in one corner of the painting, it is nonetheless an impressive painting of peonies and roses in a blue vase.

Dating to the early to mid 20th Century, the artist has used strong impasto strokes to make the flowers stand out. The colouring, layers and textures have been captured so beautifully.

Painted on board, there are some surface scratches but, most notably, there has been a breakage in the top left hand corner. This has been patched up at the back of the painting, but some cracks are visible on the front. The gilded frame has also had some loss to the gesso in places.
