A vivacious oil painting of cherry blossom in a delicate Ming style vase next to a copper kettle by Mogens Christian Vantore. Vantore is a highly regarded Danish painter born in Copenhagen whose work is defined by its quiet introspection and delicate portrayal of everyday life. Reflections dart across the canvas giving this painting a luminous, magical quality and illustrate Vantore's characteristic bravura brushwork, a daring, slap-dash way of painting lending energy to the brushstrokes.Dating from the mid-century, it is housed in a chunky, bronze wooden frame. The frame has a few signs of wear and tear which do not detract from the overall beauty of the piece.
