This beautiful original oil painting, measuring 56cm x 46cm, depicts a vibrant, densely clustered bouquet of pink, white, and purple cosmos flowers set against a deep, textured burgundy background. The piece is artist-signed "M. Bale" in the lower-left corner, pointing strongly to the highly acclaimed Australian floral and still-life artist Alice Marion Ellen (A.M.E.) Bale, renowned for her impressionistic brushwork and rich botanical studies. Housed in an elegant, stepped gilt frame with a light grey inner liner, the artwork is in very good vintage condition with the painted surface remaining vibrant and intact, while the frame shows only minimal, light surface wear consistent with age.
