About the Item

Vibrant Bouquet of Roses signed by Fanch Lel (French b. 1930) size: 10.75 x 9 inches oil painting on board, unframed condition: the painting is in very good condition.

Description: This delightful oil painting by P. Le Lay captures the timeless beauty of a floral arrangement, skillfully rendered in an impressionist style. The bouquet, composed of red and pink roses complemented by bright orange carnations, is arranged in a clear glass vase, creating a soft yet vibrant contrast against the gentle blue and beige background.
