About the Item

Title: French Mid Century Floral Still Life Chalk Pastel on Paper Medium: Coloured chalk / soft pastel on paper, unframed Size: 14.25 x 15.25 inches (height x width) Provenance: private collection Condition: Good overall condition with age-related toning and minor edge wear. The sheet has been cut to an oval format with soft irregular edges. Pastel surface remains vibrant; should be framed under glass due to the delicacy of the medium. Description: A richly atmospheric mid-century floral still life executed in chalk pastel on paper. The composition presents a bouquet of rounded pink blooms and yellow blossoms set against a deep, layered blue-green ground. The artist works with a soft, impressionistic handling, building form through layered pigment rather than line. The petals are rendered in circular, diffused strokes, allowing colour to glow from within. Areas of deep teal and indigo provide contrast, enhancing the luminosity of the pinks and yellows. The oval format gives the work a decorative, almost medallion-like quality, while the chalk medium creates a velvety, painterly surface. The blending of colour suggests influence from mid-20th century European modernist and post-impressionist traditions, with an emphasis on mood and tonal harmony rather than botanical precision. A strong example of expressive floral modernism, ideal for collectors of mid-century still life and decorative works on paper.
