European School (20th Century), 'Flower Market', (Indistinctly Signed) - European School (20th Century), oil on board. This expressive work depicts a vibrant outdoor scene, likely a bustling flower market or street festival, rendered in a bold Impressionistic style. The work is characterised by heavy impasto brushwork, with thick, tactile applications of paint that create a sense of movement and flickering light. A rich palette of saturated reds, yellows, and deep greens defines the figures and stalls nestled beneath a canopy of lush trees. The composition is reminiscent of the mid-century Italian school of palette knife painting. The work is indistinctly signed in red paint along the upper right edge. It is presented in a traditional stepped gilt wood frame, which retains an inventory sticker numbered 9289 to the right side. 45 x 60 cm
