FROM FRANCE AN ANTIQUE AUTHENTIQUE OIL PAINTING ON CANVAS FROM A. MOURRE. THE PAINTING FEATURES A SUPERB BOUQUET OF PINK CABBAGE ROSES IN A GOTHIC VASE SET ON A HAND EMBROIDERED LINEN CLOTH. 

A. MOURRE WAS A FRENCH PAINTER RESIDING IN ALGER, ALGERIA AT THE TIME ALGERIA WAS PART OF FRANCE.  AN INK STAMP IN THE BACK OF THE WOOD FRAME INDICATES ''A. MOURRE 1ER ETAGE 47, RUE D' ISLY ALGER''.  APPARENTLY A. MOURRE LIVED ON THE 1ST FLOOR OF THE BUILDING LOCATED AT 47, RUE D'ISLY.  RUE D'ISLY WAS IN THOSE DAYS IN THE EUROPEAN DISTRICT AND IT WAS AN ARTIST NEIGHBOURHOOD WITH THEATERS, BARS AND PAINTERS STUDIOS.

THE OIL PAINTING SHOWS A SUPERB TECHNIQUE WITH A PERFECT RENDITION OF THE NUANCES OF THE ROSES, THE VASE AND THE EMBROIDERED LINEN CLOTH.  THE DETAILS OF THE VASE ARE PARTICULARLY INTERESTING IN THAT THIS IS CLEARLY A GOTHIC VASE IN METAL AND PORCELEIN FROM THE 1880'S. THIS OIL PAINTING COMES FROM AN ESTATE OF THE CANNES REGION ON THE COTE D AZUR.
