Signed Mid-Century Floral Still Life Oil Painting by J. Schgeti

This is a rectangular oil still life painting on board or canvas, depicting a dense bouquet of poppies or anemones in a dark, globular vase. The color palette is dominated by rich, deep reds and oranges with accents of yellow and ochre, set against a muted, atmospheric background of grayish tones. The artist utilizes a thick impasto technique, particularly in the floral petals, creating a textured, three-dimensional surface. Two fallen blossoms lie on the surface next to the base of the vase, adding a sense of natural realism to the composition. The work is signed in the lower right corner as 'J. Schgeti' and includes the date '1960'. The artwork is housed in a contemporary gilded wooden frame with ornate beaded and scalloped edging details. Visible condition issues include minor surface grime consistent with age and slight craquelure in the more heavily applied paint areas. The frame shows light wear but remains structurally sound. The painting reflects a late expressionist or mid-century modern aesthetic, emphasizing color and texture over fine detail, showcasing competent craftsmanship through bold brushwork and dynamic lighting effects.
