Vintage Art Print by Mai Trung Thứ (Mai-Thu), Les Editions Braun

This item is a vintage reproductive art print onto canvas or textured board, depicting a still life of blue orchids in a glass chalice by the renowned Vietnamese-French artist Mai Trung Thứ (1906–1980). The composition features two large, stylized blue orchids with deep indigo and yellow-orange centers emerging from a clear long-stemmed glass. The arrangement sits upon a bright orange tabletop adorned with a repeating gold floral pattern, set against a dark, moody background with subtle atmospheric gradients. Printed by 'Les Editions Braun' in Paris, a firm known for high-quality art reproductions in the mid-20th century. The piece features a facsimile signature of 'MAI-THU' along with the artist's traditional red seal and date characters ('Sixty years' / 1960) in the lower right quadrant. Physically, the item appears to be an unframed canvas wrap or mounted print, showing a distinct woven texture across the surface. The colors remain vibrant, though there is visible shelf wear along the edges and corners, including minor scuffing and loss of the surface layer at the sharp points. This style bridges classical Vietnamese silk painting aesthetics with European modernist influences typical of the École des Beaux-Arts de l'Indochine graduates. The craftsmanship of the reproduction is high, accurately capturing the delicate transparency of the glass and the velvety texture of the petals characteristic of Mai-Thu's original works on silk.
