Original Watercolor Landscape Painting with Red Poppies

This item is an original watercolor painting on paper, featuring a vibrant floral landscape. The composition is divided into horizontal bands of color, with the foreground and mid-ground dominated by bright red poppies set against deep teal and cyan foliage. Above this, a stylized horizon showcases rolling hills in warm shades of orange, terracotta, and ochre, beneath a pale sky. The artist's signature, appearing to read 'Le Berge' or similar, is located in the bottom right corner in black ink. The painting utilizes a wet-on-wet technique, allowing colors to bleed into one another, creating a dreamy, impressionistic aesthetic typical of late 20th-century or contemporary decorative art. The paper is mounted within a white mat and encased in an ornate, gold-toned frame featuring classical leaf-and-scroll moulding. The frame displays a reflective metallic finish with some visible aged patina and minor surface wear commensurate with its age. The overall craftsmanship suggests a professional studio origin, and the vibrant saturation of the pigments indicates the use of high-quality watercolor paints. The piece appears to be in good condition with no visible foxing, water damage, or fading to the pigments.
