“Nature morte au pichet fleuri” (Still Life with Floral Pitcher)

Vintage Parisian Still Life Painting – Oil on Canvas

A beautifully executed still life oil painting on canvas, likely created by an artist working in Paris. The composition features a delicate porcelain vessel, a dark round object, and a draped textile against a soft pink background. The expressive brushwork and muted color palette lend the piece an elegant yet lived-in quality.

The canvas is stretched on its original wood frame, stamped The Paris American Art Co., 2 Rue Bonaparte, Paris—a well-known supplier to artists studying in the city. The stretcher bar is also marked 5F, indicating the standard French figure canvas size (14 x 11 inches / 35 x 27 cm).

There is a small tear in the canvas, visible from the back, and slightly from the front, which does not detract from the painting’s overall presence. (See photos)

A timeless piece that evokes the spirit of an artist’s studio in Paris.
