About the Item
TULIPS IN A BLUE VASE
Size: 64 x 54.5 cm (including frame)
Oil on board
A very well executed floral still life composition, painted in oil onto board and dated 1947 on the reverse.
This painting is a still life depicting a bouquet of tulips in a blue vase. The flowers have dark red and purple petals with white edges, and their stems and leaves are long and curved. The background features broad, textured brushstrokes in muted browns, blues, and purples, creating a moody atmosphere. The table surface is painted in light tones of cream and greenish hues, contrasting the darker backdrop.
The colours in this painting don’t shout, they whisper, giving the painting a soft, contemplative silence. There’s a tangible calm, as if time has slowed down just long enough to notice the fleeting moment.
The brushwork is loose yet deliberate, with visible strokes that suggest movement and texture. The artist seems to use a technique where the individual strokes build form rather than smooth blending, adding a painterly quality.
Tulips, often associated with love and rebirth, are shown here slightly wilted and heavy—perhaps representing impermanence or the bittersweet nature of memory. The heavy lean of the stems feels like a surrender to gravity, a soft echo of time’s pull.
This oil on board is presented in very well made wood frame with an inner brown border, which suits the painting impeccably. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
