MID CENTURY FRENCH STILL LIFE PAINTING WITH YELLOW FLOWERS BY JEAN PERRET

A charming Mid-Century French still life by Jean Perret.

Depicting a large terracotta vessel overflowing with yellow flowers before a window opening onto the hazy hills of Provence. Richly textured with palette-knife passages and thick impasto, the painting captures the warmth and light of the Mediterranean landscape. The contrast between the exuberant floral arrangement and the tranquil mountain backdrop lends the work a timeless decorative appeal. It is a particularly evocative example of Perret’s work in the South of France. Oil on board.
