A particularly beautiful floral still life oil painting of a summer bouquet, but with a atmospheric darker aesthetic, well lit to allow the flowers to show their beauty and evoke an emotional response in the viewer
 
It is particularly skillfully painted, with the interplay of texture and perspective, light and shadow creating a pleasing image, remeniscent of the great masters.
 
It is signed in the bottom left corner and dated 81. 
 
The deep gilded frame is in very good condition, darkened agreeably by the passage of time. The quality of the frame matches  the quality of the art. 
 
Overall it measures 13" by 11" and the painting 9.5" by 11.5" or 19cm x 24cm
