The painting features a carefully composed bouquet of layered blooms—soft whites, blush pinks, golden yellows, and deep reds—set against a deep, dark ground that gives the flowers depth and contrast.

The substantial frame is richly detailed with raised corner ornamentation and beaded inner trim, creating an elegant presentation closely associated with European decorative arts of the post-war period. The oval format and balanced composition reflect strong French influence, often seen in salon-style and Parisian apartment interiors of the 1950s.

The reverse retains original workshop or distributor markings, consistent with mid-20th-century continental European decorative production. Such markings are typical of pieces created for export or decorative retail and help confirm the period rather than detract from it.

Unsigned, as is common for decorative works of this type, and valued for its visual presence, craftsmanship, and refined European character rather than artist attribution.

An excellent choice for display above a mantel, console, or chest, or layered into a collected gallery wall where traditional and transitional elements meet.
