Description
This exquisite original oil painting on board is the work of Italian artist A.R. Esposito, an accomplished painter active in Rome during the late 19th to early 20th century. Esposito began his career as a muralist, a background reflected in the confident composition, refined palette, and decorative harmony of this charming still life.

The painting depicts a lush floral arrangement overflowing from a white teacup or bowl, rendered in soft pastel hues of blush pink, butter yellow, powder blue, and gentle greens. The bouquet features roses, cherry blossoms, forget-me-nots, and mixed spring florals, all delicately modeled with fine brushwork and subtle tonal transitions. The serene pale blue background enhances the freshness of the composition while lending the work an airy, timeless elegance.

The artwork is signed “A.R. Esposito” in the lower right corner and is presented in its original ornate giltwood frame, beautifully aged with an authentic patina consistent with its period. The painting remains in good vintage condition, with age-appropriate wear that adds to its antique character.

Versatile and inviting, this painting works equally well in a kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, living room, or breakfast nook, and complements both traditional and modern interiors. A lovely example of turn-of-the-century Italian decorative painting with enduring charm.
