{"product_id":"vintage-french-oil-painting-peony-still-life-framed","title":"The French Peonies","description":"\u003cp\u003eA French flower still life in oil, painted around the middle of the twentieth century and signed Jacqs Viot in the lower right. Two peonies — one open and carmine-flushed, one tighter and rose-pink — stand in a plain white cylinder vase on a soft pink table against a pale yellow-green ground. The paint lies thin and dry across the ground and builds up in short rounded strokes in the flowers. Small nicks and losses to the grey-green outer moulding are the only wear; the painted surface is untouched and the frame is firm in its corners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flattened ground, the shadowless table plane and the hard cast shadow belong to French decorative easel painting of the post-war decades. A framer's label on the reverse reads Art-Encadrements, Christian Meichler, 50 rue des Franciscains, Mulhouse, placing the piece in Alsace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall and close to square, it sits well in a gallery wall of other small frames, or leaned on a chest of drawers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition and patina consistent with age.\u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 13.8\" high x 11.8\" wide\u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 35cm high x 30cm wide\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.
