Mid-Century Impressionist Floral Still Life Painting by Dupré

This is an original vertical still life painting, likely oil or acrylic on board, depicting a vibrant bouquet of flowers in a pitcher. The composition features prominent orange-red poppies and various smaller yellow and blue field flowers, which are rendered with an expressive, impressionist technique characterized by thick, visible brushstrokes. The flowers are seated in a cylindrical ceramic pitcher with a white glaze and blue-green leaf-like patterning. The background is a pale, neutral beige-green, which allows the warm tones of the bouquet to dominate the visual field. The work is signed 'DUPRÉ' in the lower left corner and includes a numerical date that appears to be '57' or '59', indicating that it was created in the late 1950s. The piece is housed in its original mid-century period frame, which consists of a distressed, grey-washed wood outer molding with a prominent grain pattern and a gilded gold-toned inner fillet. The condition shows age-appropriate wear; there are minor scuffs on the wood frame and some surface grime and fine crazing consistent with a piece from the mid-20th century. The craftsmanship is of a competent decorative level, reflective of the popular floral motifs and stylistic trends of European or North American art from the late 1950s.
