Blue Cornflowers, N. Alexandrescu (1946) – Oil on Wood, Original Exhibition Stamp
A richly textured oil painting on wood by Romanian artist Nicola Jean Alexandrescu (b. 1884), signed and dated 1946 in the lower left corner. The work captures an atmospheric still life with a lush bouquet of vivid blue flowers, rendered with expressive, impasto brushwork and deep tonal richness.
This piece carries historical provenance, bearing the original stamp from the official Romanian “Salonul de Artă 1947” exhibition on the reverse—an important cultural event of the post-war era.
About the artist: Alexandrescu was a contemporary of Ștefan Luchian, having studied at the same prestigious École des Beaux-Arts. Known for his refined technique and contribution to Romanian modernism, Alexandrescu was also a Knight of the Masonic Order (“Cavaler al Ordinului Masonic”), a distinction that led to persecution under the Communist regime.

I recently purchased a violin bow from here. The bow is just as described, high-quality and all prepared for play. The silver winding and frog look great.
Communication was good and they shipped quickly. The bow was safely packaged and arrived in perfect condition.
The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that, while the bow performs exceptionally well, I found it slightly heavier than expected.

Wasn’t totally sure what to expect since there weren’t many reviews, but this bow completely surprised me. It got this for my daughter who needed a good follow-on bow as shes getting much better at playing... Honestly, took a bit of a gamble, but I’m really happy I did. ..Definitely a great find!
