L.W. Rice Signed Floral Still Life Oil Painting

Story

During the mid-20th century, American regional artists captured the simple beauty of domestic life. This painting reflects a post-war desire for warmth, color, and natural beauty inside the rapidly growing suburban home.

Maker / Origin

While 'L.W. Rice' is likely a listed regional artist or highly skilled American illustrator of the mid-20th century, their exact biography remains elusive without deeper archival research. Many talented artists of this era worked commercially or taught locally, leaving behind a legacy of beautiful, highly competent works that captured the spirit of their communities.

Condition & Value

The painting itself appears to be in good vintage condition with stable paint and no obvious signs of flaking or major discoloration. The gilded frame shows some intentional distressing as well as minor authentic age wear, including small chips and scuffs to the gilt finish, which actually enhances its antique character.
