Painting, oil on canvas by the famous Alsatian painter Alexis Kreyder who signed Kreijder representing a view of nature with flowers, foliage, butterflies and beetle.

Dated 1875, I think, the last number is difficult to see, see photo please.

Some old restorations and repainting, satisfactory general condition, some wear to the gilding of the frame.
The sale price takes into account the condition report.

Beautiful harmony of colors and great finesse of execution, the background appears almost golden with good lighting while it is indeed a painting. Beautiful presence.
