Description:
This is an oil painting on board depicting a bouquet of red and white flowers in a vase, executed in a classic still life style. The brushwork is expressive, with heavy, textured application for the blooms and a dark, nearly black background that makes the subject pop. The painting is housed in a modern wood frame with a gilded inner edge. The signature at the bottom right appears to read 'Nordgren' or something similar.
Curator Questions
Curated by Jade
Assessment:
A competent and decorative mid-century floral still life, suitable for interior decor. The painting is in good condition with minor wear, typical for its age. There is no major art historical or collectible value unless the artist is better identified. A word about fakes... Floral still lifes are commonly copied, but this does not appear mass-produced, nor is it of the sort targeted by forgers.
