ANTIQUE FLOWER PAINTINGS, STILL LIFE WITH A VASE OF WHITE CARNATIONS, OIL ON CANVAS, EARLY 20TH CENTURY. (QF691)

The Old Flower Paintings category features a beautiful oil painting on canvas, a floral still life from the early 20th century.

It is a pleasant still life depicting a bouquet, a bunch of white carnations or small peonies in a clear glass vase.

Next to the vase of white carnations is a closed book, slightly tilted, which adds an intimate, domestic tone to the scene.

Bright light filters from the background through a curtain, creating soft shadows and reflections on the table and in the glass of the vase.

The canvas painting is signed lower right by F. Guillermin, a French painter known for his portraits and flower paintings.

Francisque Guillermin (1878–1947) was born in Montrevel (Isère). He collaborated with the renowned portraitist François Guiguet,

from whom he learned a great deal about the precision of painting techniques. He then worked for a decorator in Valence.

He exhibited in Paris and at the Salon des Artistes Français, and became a partner. He decorated the ceiling of the

Brasserie Georges in Lyon, an iconic venue that is still open today.

In 1937, he received the Prix de la Société Lyonnaise des Beaux-Arts. The painting is housed in an original, carved wooden frame.

The oil painting and frame have been carefully and professionally restored.

So, Old Paintings of Flowers with White Carnations, Oil on Canvas, Art Nouveau, early 20th Century, offered from the
