Everyone loves the old oil paintings of roses and other flowers. This is just breathtaking and is very well painted. This is one of my very favorite painting I have seen in a long time. The colors are just fabulous and it is very detailed and this artist was very talented. It is painted on canvas stretched over the original bars, and framed. There are no dates or signatures. This is a wonderful size and is is painted in the very popular style of the Sunday Afternoon paintings from the Victorian era. The wood and gesso frame is perfect for this painting, The frame is on the shabby side with some missing pieces and missing gesso, but I don't think it takes away. This is a beautiful floral oil painting that would be perfect alone, or mixed on a wall of antique rose paintings. There is one tiny split in the painting, as photo show, however it is very tiny and does not take away from the beauty of this piece. Perfect in your shabby chic, French country or romantic cottage home. Do not let this get away, as the good rose paintings are getting so hard to find. This could very easily be a keeper if I already didn't have one very similar!
