Oval Floral Still Life Oil Painting by Pellegrino

This is a vintage oval-shaped oil painting on a dark ground, likely a tondo or oval panel, housed in a traditional gilded wood or gesso frame. The artwork features a classical floral still life composition with multiple open blossoms in shades of white, pale yellow, and soft pink, surrounded by muted green foliage. The use of a dark, near-black background creates a chiaroscuro effect, making the light-colored petals stand out with high contrast. The brushwork appears impastoed, showing visible texture in the highlights of the rose petals. The piece is signed 'Pellegrino' in light script at the center-bottom, a signature often associated with mid-to-late 20th-century decorative floral works. The frame is a circular/oval cove molding with a bright gold-toned finish, appearing to be in good vintage condition with minor surface dust and no prominent chips or cracks visible in the provided image. The style is reminiscent of 1960s-1970s decorative art often sold through fine art galleries focused on traditional motifs. The overall craftsmanship suggests a skilled hand with attention to tonal transitions and classic botanical arrangements.
