Early 20th-Century French Oil On Canvas- Still Life W/ Red Dahlias - 24" x 18"

An early to mid-20th-century unframed oil on canvas still life depicting a bouquet of red dahlias arranged in a brown jug on a sunlit table, set before a curtained window opening onto a balcony beyond. The palette of carmine, umber, moss green, and cream is enlivened by a glossy varnish that heightens the play of light. Rooted in the European tradition of domestic still life and interwar realism, the composition reflects a quiet appreciation for everyday beauty. The surface shows stable age craquelure with lightly rubbed edges consistent with age, and bears a faint signature in the lower right corner.

This piece brings a generous note of color and calm to a dining room, kitchen, or garden room. Hang it to anchor a vignette above a console, or lean it on a mantel for an easy, collected look. The red blossoms enliven neutral walls, while the earthy jug and tabletop harmonize with oak, stone, and linen. Leave unframed for a relaxed, rustic mood, or place in a simple gilt frame to sit gracefully within a traditional gallery wall.
