Large Antique Painting Of Peonies, Signed E. Jacque, Late 19th/early 20th Century

A very beautiful, large antique oil painting on canvas depicting pink peonies in bloom and bud in a delicate, naturalistic style reminiscent of botanical illustration. Signed lower right E. Jacque, French work, late 19th/early 20th century. The canvas is presented in its original black and gold wood and stucco frame, fully restored, consolidated, repainted, and varnished; the reliefs still show some stabilized craquelure that adds character to the whole. Frame: 64 x 40.5 x 3 cm; canvas: approximately 55 x 33 cm. Very good overall condition. The antique black wood and stucco frame with gilt decoration has been completely restored: the external moldings have been remade by hand and are slightly visible, but the overall appearance is clean and complete. It has been repainted and varnished, and the stucco fissures are visible but stable. The varnish on the painting is slightly darkened, but the canvas is clean. Approximately 1.5-2 kg.
