Early 20th-Century Signed Oil on Canvas of Woodland Nymph
Item Details

The image depicts an idyllic woodland muse, standing weightlessly in a large blossom with pale, cream-colored petals. She wears a sheer silken gown adorned with fresh flowers, a crown of flowers on her head, and holds a wreath of flowers in her hand. She smiles welcomingly at the viewer as butterflies flutter in the foreground. The background is filled with trees and light. This work is mounted in its original antique beveled wood with opulent cast molding and a gilt finish. The verso is wired to hang.
