Floral still life – Oil on canvas Baroque-style gilt frame Refined floral still life painted in oil on canvas, with a rich bouquet arranged in a classical vase against a dark background. The composition and the soft, controlled light recall the atmosphere of the Flemish still-life tradition, while the brushwork shows a personal and balanced approach typical of mid‑20th‑century studio painting. The work is presented in an elegant baroque-style gilt frame, which enhances its decorative presence and makes it suitable for classic interiors or collectors of Old Master–style floral paintings. On the reverse, the artist added the handwritten note “G. Caletti – Copia di quadro fiammingo”, identifying the painting as an author’s copy after a traditional Flemish model, likely used as a study image during the 20th century.
