Original oil on canvas still life floral by California painter William Hyde Irwin (1903–1982), painted in July 1932. The composition depicts a potted arrangement of petunias set before a window, rendered with warm tonal balance and early California regionalist sensitivity.
The painting is signed on the front and fully titled, dated, and inscribed on the back by the artist, reading:
“Window – Petunias / William Hyde Irwin / Brookdale Calif / July 1932.”
This original inscription provides direct artist documentation confirming the work’s title, date, and place of execution.
Irwin studied at Stanford University and the California College of Arts & Crafts and was active in California by the early 1930s. Interior still lifes from this period are among his most appealing works, combining intimacy, light, and strong decorative presence.
