Description :
This finely executed oval painting depicts an exuberant bouquet of flowers arranged in a classical urn, accompanied by a vividly painted parrot perched on a stone balustrade. The composition is rich with detail: roses, morning glories, chrysanthemums, and other garden blooms spill gracefully over the vase, rendered in a harmonious palette of vibrant reds, blues, and soft pastels. The inclusion of the exotic bird, with its striking green, white, and crimson plumage, adds both a decorative flourish and a sense of refined taste typical of late 19th-century interior paintings.
The work is painted on a fine wooden panel, which is clearly visible on the reverse, and is presented in its original gilded oval frame with carved leaf motifs. The surface shows a natural craquelure consistent with age, enhancing the authenticity and charm of the piece. The painting bears a signature at the lower edge suggesting the hand of a decorative painter active in France during the late 19th century.
Oval still lifes of this type were highly popular in bourgeois interiors of the period, often displayed in salons or dining rooms as elegant symbols of abundance and refinement. This example, with its vivid palette and well-balanced composition, is a fine representation of that tradition.
A decorative yet collectible work, ideal for those seeking to bring a touch of 19th-century European charm and color to their interior.
