Saubagnol" (?). French work, late 19th/early 20th century. A note "Salon 1910" appears on the back of the canvas, confirming a similar exhibition or dating.

The composition is rich, with deep tones and thick brushstrokes, in the tradition of academic floral still lifes of the Belle Époque. The painting is presented in its original large antique wood and stucco frame.

Overall dimensions: 57 x 69 cm (framed), canvas only: 43 x 55 cm. Very good overall condition, recently varnished, some minor wear and a visible scratch on the right side. The frame has been restored in-house, reinforced and repainted, with some elements reconstructed. The overall effect remains highly decorative and cohesive, retaining elements of its age, notably the visible but now solidified cracks in the stucco. Weight approximately 2-3 kg. See less
