{"product_id":"french-oil-painting-1946-zinnia-dahlia-still-life-unframed","title":"The Zinnia Bouquet","description":"\u003cp\u003eA French flower still life in oil on canvas board, signed R. Brisach and dated 1946 by the painter's own hand. A full bouquet of zinnias and dahlias — white, coral, orange, deep red and dusky rose — stands in a round dark-red vase on a green table against a grey-green ground. The paint is thin and dry, the weave of the board reading through it, and the surface has settled to a soft matt. The painted image is intact throughout, with light rubbing along the outermost edges of the board where a frame would cover it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDated flower pieces of this kind were painted in quantity in provincial France in the years just after the war. That the artist set a year beside the signature is what makes this one datable rather than simply old.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt comes unframed, which suits the way small oils are used now — leaned on a chest of drawers, a shelf edge, or above a row of books.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition and patina consistent with age.\u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 19.3\" wide x 15\" high\u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 49cm wide x 38cm high\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping to the United States:\u003c\/strong\u003e the price you see includes all import duties and tariffs.
