1943 French Still Life Oil Painting of Roses, Signed D. Soulas, with Inscription
A charming French floral still life depicting a lush bouquet of pink, yellow, and peach roses arranged in a lustrous vase. Expressive brushwork and delicate craquelure lend texture and warmth to this unframed oil painting, signed D. Soulas in the lower right corner.
The reverse bears a handwritten French dedication dated September 3, 1943, translated as: “May your life always be as beautiful as that of the most beautiful roses. Uncle Robert and Aunt Nancy.”
This personal inscription adds a sentimental connection to the painting’s history. Lovely displayed on a tabletop easel, nestled into a bookshelf, or framed as part of a floral gallery wall.
