Fabulous Large Framed Antique Theorem Painting of Flowers in Urn pill box Double Proportion

Double Proportion

not the date

14" x 9" x 11/16" with two eye hooks along the top for hanging

I think there's nothing like weathered and scuffed creamy white paint on wood

and just loved it for how mid-century it feels and for its almost manic quality

Fabulous Large Framed Antique Theorem Painting of Flowers in Urn pill box Double ProportionA beautiful example of a 19th century gouache watercolor theorem painting, with the urn and flowers cut out and pasted to the backing paper in the true theorem stencil manner. I like this one as much as any I have seen, with its bold, perfectly resolved composition, super rich color, and fine detail. Really a beauty I think, in excellent condition, I would guess mid 19th century. Sold in the frame I found it in, which is in very good condition.
