Dating to the first half of the 20th Century, this swiftly rendered impressionistic still life of blue violets bursting out of a trough is simple, yet striking and homely. It is mounted in a gilt frame with a blue velvet matt border, tying in nicely with the artwork. No evident signature, however, the back of the board still holds its original picture framer label. Presumably painted by a Melbourne based artist, around the 1930's.
Measurements: (Frame 25cm x 40.5cm), (Artwork 15cm x 31cm)
Condition: There is small thumb-sized indent in the board (bottom left side) which was originally there as the artist painted over it. The surface presents dirt, grime and some brush bristle remnants within the painting. In the best interest of preserving the integrity of artworks, we DO NOT abrasively clean or apply heavy conservative techniques. We will leave this up to the buyer's discretion.
