Flowers in a Blue Vase, Signed Oil on Canvas, Mid-Century French Still Life, Framed

A slender arrangement of wildflowers rises from a pale turquoise vase decorated with gilt scrolls, the blooms in violet, pink and orange set against a warm patterned ground. A single butterfly hovers above the bouquet, and the tall, narrow format draws the whole composition upward. The handling is decorative and stylised, in the manner of the mid-twentieth century, the flowers touched in with quick, bright strokes.

The painting is signed lower left and presented in a wood frame. Its unusual vertical format suits a narrow wall, a between-window space or a stair.
