Light wear to frame consistent with age, as shown in photographs.

Description:This expressive still life demonstrates Florence Coates’ membership with the Marple Society of Artists, active during the mid-20th century. Painted in 1975, Rudbeckias captures the boldness of impasto oil, creating a tactile and dimensional surface where petals and stems almost lift from the board. With its warm tones and dramatic textural quality, the work resonates with a post-impressionist influence, evoking comparisons to Van Gogh’s floral studies. The original label on the reverse provides provenance and authenticity, offering both artistic charm and historical context.
