A colorful and well-balanced floral still life painted in oil on canvas, signed in the lower right corner by Italian painter Alfredo Cini (1887–1970).
The artwork depicts a blue ceramic vase filled with vibrant fresh flowers in vivid tones of yellow, red, pink, and blue, arranged with great harmony and dynamism. The brushwork is confident yet soft, characteristic of Cini’s Post-Impressionist style, known for capturing the fleeting beauty of nature through lively and light-filled compositions.
The neutral, slightly blended background enhances the brightness of the flowers, some of which have gently fallen onto the table in the foreground, adding a poetic and intimate atmosphere. The canvas is stretched on its original frame and set within a coeval, finely carved gilded frame, elegant and decorative.
On the reverse side, a small flaw in the lower part of the canvas is visible, but it does not affect the overall aesthetic of the piece.
