Floral still life painting with a romantic bouquet, European, oil on board, mid-20th century (ca. 1930–1970), with a later inscription referencing “France ca. 1850”.

A classic floral still life featuring a rich bouquet of roses and blossoms arranged against a deep green background. The composition has a balanced and decorative feel, with warm reds, soft pinks, and light yellow tones creating contrast and depth.

An inscription on the reverse reads “France ca. 1850.” This is considered a later attribution rather than original documentation. Based on materials, surface characteristics, and painting technique, the work aligns more closely with mid-20th century decorative painting (circa 1930–1970), created in the style of 19th-century French floral still lifes.

The brushwork is expressive yet controlled, giving the flowers a lively presence while maintaining a traditional look. The surface shows age-related craquelure, adding texture and reinforcing the antique-inspired character.
Executed in oil on board.

This piece works beautifully as wall decor in both traditional and eclectic interiors. The gold-toned frame enhances the warm palette and makes it easy to place in a living room, bedroom, or gallery wall. A charming vintage painting with strong decorative appeal.
