HOT ! Antique Early 20th century Oil Painting Roses Still Life on Board Unsigned Frame

A hauntingly delicate antique still life oil painting on board, this unsigned piece features a soft, moody composition of a pink rose, fallen petals, and a green glass bowl with water. The work evokes quiet melancholy with its dark background and subtle color transitions, emphasizing the fragility of the rose in contrast with the solidity of the glass and shadows.

Executed with classical technique and attention to realism, the brushstrokes suggest academic training. The soft handling of petals and reflected light in the water show the painter’s strong grasp of form and tone.

The painting is presented in a vintage gilded wood frame with layered molding. It has old nails and paper labels on the reverse, including one marked “Academy Board” and “Tube Oil Colors.”
