This delicate pair of still lifes is the work of Alice Rey, a French artist renowned for the sensitivity of her mid-20th-century floral compositions. Signed by the artist, these oil paintings on wood panels capture all the poetry of gardens with a hazy, post-impressionist touch. One presents a bouquet of powdery roses, the other vibrant asters, both rendered in a palette of exquisitely soft pastels.
These panels, true objects of curiosity, are unique in that they are painted on both sides of raw wood, the grain of which is still visible, offering an authentic, unrestored charm. Presented without frames, these works possess a modern and refined silhouette, ideal for a "country chic" decor or for display on an easel. This pair forms a striking decorative ensemble, combining the character of antiquity with a recognized artistic signature.
