French School, 19th Century (dated 1893). In Its Original Gilt Frame With Richly Carved Decoration.

French School, 19th century (dated 1893). In its original gilt frame with richly carved decoration, this charming oil on canvas depicts a bouquet of flowers in soft, nuanced tones (whites, powder pinks, coral, and deep green foliage), rendered with finesse against a subtly patinated light background. The elegant and balanced composition highlights the delicate handling of light and volume. The petals are finely modeled, with a naturalistic style characteristic of late 19th-century floral painting. The work is signed at the bottom (signature visible in the photos) and dated 1893 on the reverse of the stretcher. A Parisian canvas merchant's stamp is also present on the back, attesting to the artist's purchase of materials in Paris.
