Ancient Japanese painting

Splendid and rare oil on canvas from the late 19th century (dated 1896) perfectly fitting within the artistic movement of Japonisme in France. A work depicting a floral and animal composition: a wading bird elegantly perched above stunning chrysanthemums crafted with a impasto technique that gives relief to the petals. The painting is signed N.T and dated 1896. On the back, the original linen canvas features the official stencil of size 4M (4 marine) and the circular stamp of the famous house Lucien Lefebvre Foinet. Framing in Montparnasse style from the 1930s to 1940s. Dimensions of the canvas: 33cm X 19cm. Condition: very good condition for its age (130 years). The canvas is well stretched on its original frame.
