Prometheus Antiques

Description

A fine and impressive oil on canvas still life painting of flowers in an urn. The painting is very much in the Dutch golden age tradition of flower painting, with a large array of blooms including tulips, roses, honeysuckle, iris and delphinium. The work is unusual in that the flowers are arranged in a delft urn decorated in blue and white with a rural scene. The whole is very well painted but not unusually for this period is not signed. The work is in good condition it has been lined many years ago and has had some overpaint in the background. The painting is framed in a very good quality frame probably dating to the mid twentieth century which is in excellent untouched condition. The whole is an interesting example of early still life, most likely from France or Italy, and has a huge amount of decorative appeal. C.1780.
Overall sizes in inches including frame: 31 by 37
