Framed Floral Still Life Painting of Red Petunias

This item is a framed original painting, likely executed in watercolor or gouache on paper, depicting a lush bouquet of vibrant red petunias in a simple blue-toned pot. The composition is centered, featuring graduated shades of crimson and pink within the flower petals, accented by delicate green foliage and budding stems. The artwork is set within a wide, sage-green mat board that emphasizes the organic colors of the subject matter. It is housed in a mid-to-late 20th-century rectangular wooden frame featuring a prominent natural grain and a honey-oak finish. The frame exhibits mitered corners and a simple beveled profile. The overall condition appears fair to good; while the artwork itself shows no immediate signs of foxing or moisture damage, the frame has visible scuffs and minor surface wear consistent with age. There are no visible signatures or maker's marks on the front surface. The style is representational with a soft, illustrative quality characteristic of mid-century amateur or decorative art. The craftsmanship is competent, showing a nice command of color blending in the floral elements, though the pot is rendered with less detail.
