French school (XX) - Memento Mori

Beautiful MEMENTO MORI (remember that you must die) painting, executed in oil on a plywood panel, dating from the 20th century.
It is signed with the initials J M and comes complete with its elegant original gilded wooden frame, featuring raised flowers.
The initials of the name and the writing on the back suggest that it is of French origin.
The stated measurements refer to the painting and frame together; the painting alone measures 30 x 40 cm.
It depicts a human skull, a book, and a lit candle—symbols that remind us of life’s brevity and its inevitable end, but also of the hope of resurrection.
The painting is of the highest quality, as can be seen in the photos.
Please note: the piece shows the inevitable signs of age, but has no serious damage that detracts from its beauty.
