Description from the seller

Elena Gribi (20th century)

Still life with primroses (or Vase of primroses), Oil on cardboard, Signed and dated at the bottom right "E. GRIBI 1935", 50 x 35 cm

Fascinating oil painting on cardboard created in 1935 by painter E. Gribi, depicting a rich vase of primroses with vivid tones ranging from pink to lilac, nestled among lush green leaves. The work is signed and dated by the author at the bottom right. The brushwork is vigorous, dense and matterful, capable of giving great depth and plasticity to both the petals of the flowers and the foliage, highlighting a pronounced sensitivity in the chromatic and luminous rendering of the still life.

On the back there are handwritten archival or inventory notes and numbers. The condition of the work is visible in the photo: normal signs of age consistent with the period are reported, which do not prejudice the beauty and integrity of this valuable early-twentieth-century painting.

Shipping costs include professional and safe packing carried out with high-quality materials, specifically designed to protect paintings and works of art during international transport. The shipment is entrusted to the best express couriers, with constant tracking service and full insurance coverage to guarantee maximum peace of mind to the buyer from departure to final delivery.

Notes on shipping and customs
The item is shipped from Geneva, Switzerland. For this reason, delivery times to European Union countries may be slightly longer than usual due to normal customs procedures.

In case of return of the package for an incorrect address, unclaimed package or unpaid duties, the buyer will have to pay a second shipment and cover return costs.

I also remind you that, since Switzerland is outside the EU customs area, import duties, local VAT and customs charges are entirely borne by the buyer and will be requested by authorities in your country at delivery. I recommend informing yourself in advance to avoid surprises. Alternatively to shipping, if you have the possibility, personal pickup in Geneva is always the option I prefer and strongly recommend, as it will eliminate transport costs and ensure maximum safety for the artwork. If you choose shipping, I will do my best to package it so as to protect the painting during the journey.
