Oil on board by Jeanne Besnard-Fortin (1892-1978) depicting a still life with flowers. Signed. "Jeanne Besnard-Fortin is a figurative painter (landscapes, nudes, portraits, intimate interior scenes, still lifes) born on December 3, 1892 in Indre-et-Loire and died on December 11, 1978 in Amboise. Her name is linked to the artists of Montparnasse, to the group of Surindependants, to the artists of Alba-la-Romaine and to the artists of the sector of Pontlevoy". Her work fetches a good price at auction and looking at her work this particular one is particularly strong. The flowers are beautiful in a lovely combination of colours and that background keeps it light and joyful.
