Floral Still Life Oil Painting in Ornamental Frame

This item is an oil-on-canvas or oil-on-board still life painting depicting a lush arrangement of varied flowers in a rounded ceramic vase. The composition features a vibrant array of blooms, including roses, chrysanthemums, and various wild flowers in shades of pink, yellow, blue, and coral, set against a dark, moody background that emphasizes the floral colors. The style is reminiscent of 17th-century Dutch floral painting but executed with a mid-20th-century decorative sensibility. The paint is applied with visible brushwork, showing some impasto in the floral highlights. A signature, which appears to read 'Eros', is visible in the lower right quadrant. The painting is housed in a carved wooden frame with a gold-tone or metallic finish and a linen-textured inner slip. The frame features decorative corner and center carvings in a traditional motif. Condition-wise, the artwork shows minor aging, with some surface grime and possible slight crazing. The frame exhibits minor scuffs and a light patina consistent with age, likely dating the piece from the 1960s to the 1980s. The overall craftsmanship suggests a high-quality decorative piece or studio work rather than a mass-produced print.
