Bouquet on a Blue Afternoon

Sold

SOLD.

A charming and vibrant mid-century modernist still life composition that depicts a joyous bouquet of pink and red blossoms mingled with small white flowers, executed in oil onto canvas.

The flowers sit on a rounded tabletop beside a small closed book and three pieces of fruit – adding a touch of domestic intimacy.

The background is a striking blend of cobalt and cerulean blues, setting off the floral arrangement with dramatic contrast. Bold, confident brushstrokes give the petals, leaves, and fruit a lively texture, while the simplified forms and saturated colours reflect a Fauvist-inspired modernist sensibility. The palette’s interplay of cool blues and warm earthy tones imbues the work with both freshness and intimacy.

This piece captures the essence of mid-century modernist painting: confident colour, spirited brushwork, and a celebration of the everyday made luminous.

This oil on canvas is presented in a robust wooden frame with a deep profile and inner gilt trim. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some minor wear to the moulding although this is in keeping with its vintage style and does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

The painting captures a serene domestic setting with a carefully arranged composition of objects on a wooden table.

The surfaces of objects are rendered with a slightly textured yet smooth application of paint, lending a quiet, contemplative atmosphere to the composition. There is a clear attention to the structure of objects, with subtle tonal variations creating a sense of volume and solidity.

This oil on canvas is housed in a robust gilt wood frame with an inner cream border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some scuffing to edges, but this is in keeping with its vintage style.
