Framed Antique 19th Century French Floral Painting

This is a beautiful example of a framed floral still life, sourced from France and dating to the turn of the 19th and 20th Centuries.

Depicting a vase of roses in gouache on paper, the light pastel shades of the flowers contrast beautifully with the somewhat moody background and darker coloured vase. The balance of this painting is very good.

In a gold frame and with glass protection, it's a wonderful decorative painting for the home.

The painting is in good condition. There are some minor smudges on the bottom right of the painting, which has also obscured the signature a little. The frame has some light cracks around the edge of it, but this adds natural timeworn charm to the piece.

Height, 42cm; Width, 32cm; Depth of frame, 1.8cm (there is a hook at top with a total depth here of 3cm
