Vintage Floral Still Life – d’après Cottaar
A vibrant vintage floral still life painted on textured board, featuring bold red carnations in a deep blue vase set against a soft yellow background. The saturated palette and confident brushwork give the piece warmth and energy. Signed d’après Cottaar in the lower left, it was likely painted as a direct study of a specific work by Dutch floral painter Piet Cottaar—part of a mid-century tradition of recreating admired compositions for practice or personal enjoyment.
