early 20th century, in the Art Deco style.

The antique painting is housed in a carved and lacquered wooden frame, Montparnasse type, dating to the early 1900s.

This is a pictorial composition featuring a rich bouquet of cut flowers, arranged in a decorated ceramic vase, resting on a

dark surface that creates an effective contrast with the vivid color palette of the composition.

The floral arrangement, including zinnias, daisies, ranunculus and cornflowers, is harmonious.

The painterly style, linked to Art Deco and post-Impressionist taste, stands out for its chromatic balance, soft brushstrokes,

and careful rendering of the petals’ texture.

Antique floral paintings, still life with flowers, signed lower right by Maurice Decamps, French painter.

Maurice Alfred Decamps (1892–1953) was born in Paris and painted mainly floral subjects, as well as landscapes.

His master was Pierre Montézin, and from 1913 he began exhibiting at the “Salon des Artistes Français” in Paris.
