Vintage 1970s Rose Still Life Painting in Gilt & Velvet Frame by Ann Julia Rant

Small 8.5" x 10.5 framed vintage oil painting on canvas titled "Floral Still Life" by artist Ann Julia Rant who signed her works as "A. Julia" who started painting after World War II to escape poverty. A. Julia was well known for her floral still life works characterized by a mid-century traditional or impressionistic style, often utilizing an impasto technique where thick, textured brushstrokes give the flower petals a three-dimensional quality. This small piece is framed in an elegant carved gold frame with a black velvet inset and all are in exquisite condition.
